Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Gyrodactylus kobayashii was 14 786 bp in length, containing 12 protein-coding genes (lacking Atp8), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and two major non-coding regions (NC1 and NC2). The overall A + T content of mitochondrial genome was 71.6%. A close relationship between G. kobayashii and the three Gyrodactylus species (G. salaris, G. thymalli and G. derjavinoides) was uncovered in the phylogenetic tree based on amino acid sequences.

Keywords: Gyrodactylus kobayashii; Monogenea; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetics.
