Abstract
Catla (Catla catla) is one of the fastest-growing major carp found in South Asia as well as Bangladesh. Catla catla is the second most popular indigenous carp species in the freshwater aquaculture industry of Bangladesh due to its relatively good taste and high market price. In this study, we disclosed the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Bangladeshi Catla fish from Halda river located in Chittagong. The circular mitogenome of Catla catla is 16,597 bp in length and nucleotide composition is AT-based (72%), contains 37 genes including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and a D-loop (control region).
