Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the hybrid of Culter alburnus (♀) × Ancherythroculter nigrocauda (♂) was determined and analyzed for the first time. The total length of the mitogenome is 16,621 bp, with the base composition of 31.20% A, 24.78% T, 27.78% C, and 16.24% G. It contains the typical structure as that of most other vertebrates, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 main non-coding regions (the origin of the light strand replication and the control region). The complete mitogenome of the hybrid of C. alburnus (♀) × A. nigrocauda (♂) provides an important data set for study in mitochondrial inheritance mechanism.
