Abstract

Abstract: The Korean torrent catfish ( Liobagrus andersoni ), an endemic species in Korea, is a member of the family Amblycipitidae. Herein, we report the first sequencing and assembly of the complete mitochondrial genome of L. andersoni . The complete mitochondrial genome is 16, 514 bp long, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes of 21 species showed that L. andersoni was clustered with L. marginatoides and L. nigricauda . This mitochondrial genome provides potentially important resources for addressing taxonomic issues and studying molecular evolution.
