Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of Gnathopogon argentatus was determined to be 16,607 bp long circular molecule with a typical gene arrangement of vertebrate mitochondrial DNA. The complete mitochondrial genome of G. argentatus is 16,607 bp in length with 56.02% AT content, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. The complete mitochondrial genome of G. argentatus was obtained for the first time and would play an important role in population structure and conservation genetic studies.
