The complete mitogenome of Acrossocheilus kreyenbergii (Cypriniformes; Cyprinidae)

Acrossocheilus kreyenbergii is a small fish and widely distributed in China, for example, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, and also found in Henan province. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Acrossocheilus kreyenbergii has been obtained with PCR by using the conservative fragment primers of its closely relative species. Just like most of fishes, the gene composition and arrangement of mitochondrial genome sequence of this species are similar to most of other vertebrates', which including 2 rRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and a non-coding control region with total length of 16,849 bp. There is a 270 bp non-coding fragment (from 15,768 to 16,037) in its control region compared with other fish of genus Acrossocheilus. Most of genes are encoded on Heavy-Strand (H-strand), exclude eight tRNA and ND6 genes, which are encoded on Light-Strand (L-strand). The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Acrossocheilus kreyenbergii would contribute to better understand population genetics, conservation, and diversity of genus Acrossocheilus.
