Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Asian river pipefish Doryichthys boaja was sequenced. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 16,439 bp in length, containing 37 mitochondrial genes and a control region. The base composition is 31.03% A, 24.22% C, 14.44% G, and 30.32% T, with an A + T content of 61.35%. All PCGs were initiated by ATG start codon expecting COX1 by GTG. A phylogenetic tree showed that Doryichthys boaja clustered with Microphis brachyurus.

Keywords: Asian river pipefish; Doryichthys boaja; Mitogenome; next generation sequencing.
