Abstract
The traditional polymerase chain reaction method was employed to obtain the complete mitochondrial genome of Andinoacara rivulatus from Lizigu farm, Tianjin city, China. The mitogenome was determined to be 16,585 bp in length. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs and 22 tRNAs. The sequence structure of non-coding control region was also analyzed. This is the first report on the complete mitogenome sequence of A. rivulatus.
