Abstract

The squid Uroteuthis chinensis is commercially important fishery species in many coastal regions of Asia. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of U. chinensis. The genome is 17,353 bp in length, encoding the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, with circular organization. The overall base composition of the whole mitochondrial genome was A (39.56%), T (31.71%), G (9.05%) and C (19.68%) with an AT bias of 71.27%. The longest protein-coding genes of these species was ND5, whereas the shortest ATP8.
