Abstract
In this study, we sequenced and obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of the Kaluga (Huso dauricus) for the first time. The circular genome (16,691 bp in length) contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the novel mitogenome is 30.39% for A, 24.18% for T, 29.27% for C, 16.15% for G. AT content (54.57%) is higher than the GC content.
