Complete mitochondrial genome of the copepod (Copepoda: Poecilostomatoida).

The total mitochondrial genome size of is 14,239 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall nucleotide composition of the mitochondrial DNA of is 34.9% A, 35.5% T, 15.7% C, 13.9% G, and 70.4% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the genus is monophyletic, and is closely related to . The complete mitochondrial genome of would be useful for species identification, epidemiology, and phylogenetics among Copepods.
