Abstract
The complete mitochondrial genome of the sleepy cod (Oxyeleotris lineolatus) is determined for the first time in this study. It is a circular molecule of 16,519 bp in length, consisting 37 genes, typically found in other vertebrates. The AT content of the overall base composition of the whole mitogenome was 53.90%, while the control region was 62.59%. The protein-coding genes and 6 CSBs were identified. The sequence information could play an important role in the study of phylogenetic relationships between the sleepy cod and its related species.
