The complete mitochondrial genome of Barbus capito (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae)

Abstract

The mitogenome of Barbus capito was 16,603 bp long containing 1 d-loop region, 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA, and 13 protein-coding genes. Eight tRNA genes and one protein-coding gene were encoded on light strand, the others on heavy strand. The base composition and gene arrangement of B. capito mitogenome were identical to typical vertebrate.
