Complete mitochondrial genome of the snakehead () and its phylogeny.

In present study, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of was determined and the phylogenetic relationship of Channidae fish was reconsidered. The mitogenome of the is 16547 bp in length, containing 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosome RNA genes (rRNAs), a control region (D-loop) and an origin region of replication on the light-strand (O). The overall nucleotide composition is 28.
