Abstract

Here, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of a seabird, wedge-tailed shearwater (Ardenna pacifica). The circular genome has a size of 16,434 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The study provides a reference mitochondrial genome of wedge-tailed shearwater for further molecular studies.
