Abstract
Lophiogobius ocellicauda, which is a small demersal fish and inhabited brackish and freshwater environment of estuary, is a kind of forage fish of some predaceous economic fish. In this paper, the complete mitochondrial genome of L. ocellicauda was firstly determined. The genome is 16,663 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 2 main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). The complete mitochondrial genome base composition is 26.4% for T, 28.4% for C, 29.2% for A and 16.0% for G, with a slight A + T bias of 55.6%. Within the control region, the termination associated sequence, central and conserved sequence block domains were found.
