Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Odontobutis yaluensis was sequenced as to be 16,909 bp in length with (A + T) content of 55.73%, and it contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and a control region. The gene order and orientation are similar to some typical fish species. The data will provide the useful molecular information for phylogenetic relationships of O. yaluensis with Odontobutis potamophila first clustered into a small branch, and then with Odontobutis platycephala clade, and finally with Odontobutis sinensis clade. Odontobutidae and Rhyacichthyidae formed the sister group, and Eleotridae and Gobiidae formed the sister group.
