Abstract

Amoya chusanensis is a small benthonic fish, which inhabits the near shore area of freshwater and brackish, especially the hole of the intertidal zone, and is an endemic species of China which is mainly distributed in the East China Sea. In this study, firstly the complete mitochondrial genome of A. chusanensis was determined. The genome is 16,486 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 main noncoding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). The complete mitochondrial genome base composition is 26.4% for T, 28.7% for C, 29.0% for A, and 15.9% for G, with a slight A+T bias of 55.4%. Within the control region, the termination-associated sequence, central, and conserved sequence block domains were found.
