Abstract
Lampetra morri belongs to the Petromyzontidae family. It is one of the most important freshwater aquaculture species in China. In this study, the complete sequence of mitochondrial genome of L. morri was 16,451 base pair, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 repeat regions. The percentage of G + C content was 39.33%. This is the first time of the mitochondrial genome of L. morri being sequenced, and it provides insights into the evolution of Cyclostomata mitochondrial genomes, particular in Lampetra family.
