Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from one of the endemic bitterling fish in China. The mitochondrial genome sequence was 16,575 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with the species of the same subfamily like T. lanceolata, T. limbata, Acheilognathus macropterus and A. yamatsutae. Five genes (COII, COIII, ND3, ND6, and CYTB) had an incomplete stop codon. Base composition of the genome is A (29.2%), T (27.4%), C (26.2%), and G (17.2%) with an A+T-rich feature (56.6%) as that of other vertebrate mitochondrial genomes.
