Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the cyprinid freshwater fish, <italic>Rhodeus suigensis</italic>. The genome sequence was 16, 733 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with the congeneric species <italic>R. uyekii</italic>. Of 13 protein-coding genes (<italic>PGC</italic>s), 3 genes (<italic>CO2, CO3</italic> and <italic>Cytb</italic>) had an incomplete stop codon as shown in <italic>R. uyekii</italic>. Fot the base composition, <italic>R. suigensis</italic> showed anti-G bias (13.66% and 12.37%) on the second and third positions of the <italic>PCG</italic>s.</p> </abstract>
