Abstract:
Phoxinus phoxinus is a small Leuciscinae species predominantly found in cool and well-oxygenated streams throughout a wide area encompassing Europe, Siberia and East Asia. It is believed that the populations in Korea hold important clues to how the species has been distributed south along the Eurasian continent to the Korean Peninsula. We characterized the complete mitochondrial genomes of two individual fin-clip samples collected from the two Korean river systems. The whole sequences were 17,665 and 18,220 bp, respectively, and included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 22 transfer RNA genes. The genome size difference was due to the considerably different sizes of the control region. The overall genome structures were identical to those observed in other Leuciscinae species.
