Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Cottiusculus nihonkaiensis was presented, and we also discussed its mitochondrial characteristics. The full length of the mitochondrial genome was 16, 612 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two ribosomal RNAs (12S and 16S), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), one non-coding control region (CR) and one origin of replication on the light-strand. Overall base composition of the complete mitochondrial DNA was 26.4% A, 17.4% G, 31.5% C, 24.7% T. The phylogenetic tree suggested that C. nihonkaiensis shared the most recent common ancestor with Gymnocanthus herzensteini, Gymnocanthus intermedius and Gymnocanthus tricuspis .
