The complete mitogenome sequence of Hampala macrolepidota was determined using PCR reactions. The genome is 16,766 bp in length, including 13 typical vertebrate protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. Except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. The codon usage followed the typical vertebrate mitochondrial pattern (ATG or GTG for start codon and TAA or TAG for stop codon). There are seven regions of gene overlap totaling 25 bp and 13 intergenic spacer regions totaling 70 bp. The control region harbor 88 bp tandem repeats.
