Abstract
In the study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Chilin fish (Varicorhinus macrolepis) has been sequenced. The mitochondrial DNA is 16,594 nucleotides and contains two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and one control region, along with gene order and organization, being similar to most of the other related fish mitogenome of the databases. The phylogenetic analysis showed V. macrolepis is close to genus Poropuntius and Spinibarbus. The results can provide a basic database for the evolutionary analysis for the V. macrolepis.
