Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the cyprinid freshwater fish, Rhodeus suigensis. The genome sequence was 16,733 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with the congeneric species R. uyekii. Of 13 protein-coding genes (PGCs), 3 genes (CO2, CO3 and Cytb) had an incomplete stop codon as shown in R. uyekii. Fot the base composition, R. suigensis showed anti-G bias (13.66% and 12.37%) on the second and third positions of the PCGs.
