Abstract
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Carassioides acuminatus was first sequenced and annotated. The entire mitogenome is 16,579bp in length, which consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop). The overall nucleotide composition of the C. acuminatus mitochondrial genome shows an obvious anti-G bias. The accuracy of the fresh sequences was verified by phylogenetic analysis. The complete mitochondrial genome of C. acuminatus is useful to population genetics and molecular systematics.
