The complete mitochondrial genome of a commercially important sea fish Cynoglossus joyneri was sequenced and annotated. The 16,941 bp-long genome contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that C. joyneri is a sister group with C. sinicus and C. bilineatus, and corroborated the proposed paraphyly of Cynoglossus genus.
