Abstract

Ancherythroculter wangi, is a unique freshwater fish and mainly distributed in the upper stream of Yangtze River and its tributary. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. wangi was first determined. The total length of the complete mitochondrial genome is 16,622 bp, contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, one D-loop locus, and an origin of replication on the light-strand (OL). The overall nucleotide composition was 31.19% A, 24.84% T, 27.79% C, 16.18% G, with 56.03% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis both highly supported that A. wangi showed a close relationship with Culter mongolicus and A. kurematsui. These data would contribute to elucidate the evolutionary mechanisms and biogeography of Ancherythroculter and is useful for the conservation of genetics and stock evaluation for A. wangi.
