Abstract
In the present study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Cyprinid fish Squalidus argentatus (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae) was determined. The mitogenome, consisting of 16,609 base pairs (bp), was characterized by the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement, including 13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs genes and a noncoding control region. Control region (CR), of 931 bp in length, was located between tRNAPro and tRNAPhe. The overall base composition of S. argentatus was 30.45% for A, 16.70% for G, 25.62% for T and 27.24% for C, with a slight AT bias of 56.07%.
