Abstract

Schizothorax dulongensis Huang (1985) is an endemic species in China, which is mainly distributed in the Irrawaddy River and its tributaries. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced. Its length is 16,579 bp, containing 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and 13 PCGs. The phylogenetic results showed that S. dulongensis and these species from Brahmaputra River clustered a clade, and supported the Brahmaputra River and the Irrawaddy River have been reorganized of drainage.

Keywords: Schizothorax dulongensis; mitochondrial genome; phylogeny.
