Abstract
In this paper, we determined complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of Schizopygopsis younghusbandi. The mitogenome is 16,674 bp in length, which includes 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, and 2 non-coding regions: control region (D-loop) and origin of light-strand replication (OL). The complete mitogenome sequence of S. younghusbandi is useful to the studies on taxonomic status, molecular systematics, stock evaluation, and conservation genetics.
