Abstract
The Chinese lizard gudgeon, Saurogobio dabryi Bleeker, belongs to the subfamily Gobioninea, which is an economic fish widely distributed in East Asia. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of the S. dabryi. The complete mitogenome was 16,601 bp in size, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes and 1 control region. It has the typical circular molecule structure of vertebrate’s mitochondrial genome. The whole base composition was estimated to be 29.64%A, 26.47%T, 27.06%C and 16.83%G with AT bias of 56.11%. This study is a first report the complete mitogenome of S. dabryi and provides the basis for preservation of genetic resources and phylogenetic analyses on this species.
