Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the East Asian minnow, (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes).

Some populations of the East Asian minnow Herzenstein, 1892, which are naturally distributed in western Japan, have declined and are considered endangered. However, has become a domestic invasive species in eastern Japan. Thus, knowledge of genetic features and phylogenetic relationships of is important for conservation of this species and understanding its impact on ecosystems.
