Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome was determined for a member of the Australian carp gudgeon species complex (Hypseleotris: Eleotridae). The 16 506 bp genome was recovered by direct shotgun sequencing of a wild-caught F1 hybrid male, and it contains the typical vertebrate arrangement of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. This is the first published mitogenome for the genus Hypseleotris and will be useful for evolutionary studies of the carp gudgeon complex which contains a mixture of sexual species and hybridogenetic biotypes.
