Abstract

The kissing gourami (Helostoma temminkii) belongs to the Labyrinth fishes (Perciformes: Anabantoidei), which exhibits a wide variety of behavioral traits. In this study the complete mitogenome of H. temminkii was determined to be 16,740 bp in length. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The sequence structure of non-coding control region was also analyzed. Comparing the mitochondrial genome of H. temminkii with its closely related species Colisa lalia showed the similarity of 78%. The complete mitochondrial genome of H. temminkii provides resource for phylogenetic analysis on Anabantoidei.
