Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the freshwater cyprinid fish, <italic>Microphysogobio koreensis</italic>. The genome sequence was 16, 606 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with other cyprinid species. Of 13 protein-coding genes (<italic>PGC</italic>s), three genes (<italic>CO2, CO3, Cytb</italic>) had an incomplete stop codon as shown in other cyprinid fishes. The base composition of <italic>M. koreensis</italic> showed anti-G bias (13.79% and 10.16%) on the second and third positions of <italic>PCG</italic>s.</p> </abstract>
