Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Parahucho perryi has been obtained by the next generation sequencing, which contained 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and non-coding control region with the total length of 16,651 bp. The gene content, arrangement, codon usage and base composition of P. perryi mitogenome are identical to those observed in salmonids and most other teleost fishes. The sequence data could provide useful information for the studies on molecular systematics and conservation genetics.
