Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Gymnocypris potanini firmispinatus was sequenced and compared with others Gymnocypris species. The mitochondrial genome, consisting of 16,680 base pairs (bp), encoded 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a non-coding control region, as those found in other Gymnocypris species. These results can provide useful data for further studies on taxonomic status, molecular systematics and stock evaluation.

Keywords: Gymnocypris potanini firmispinatus; mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analyses; taxonomic status.
