The complete mitochondrial genome of (Rüppell, 1829).

Damselfishes (family Pomacentridae) comprise approximately 400 species that play an important ecological role in temperate and coral reefs. Here, for the first time, we assemble and annotate the mitochondrial genome of , the three-spot dascyllus, a planktivorous damselfish that primarily recruits in anemones. The circular genome of is 16,967 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region.
