Next-generation sequencing of the mitochondrial genome of Gunther, 1877 (Aluteridae: Thamnaconus) specimen collected in China.

In this article, the complete 16,439 bp mitochondrial genome of was determined from a specimen collected in China. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 D-loop region, 2 rRNA genes, the base composition of A 27.74%, G 17.09%, T 26.04%, and C 29.13%, resulting in a G + C content of 46.22%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that was the nearest sister to . These presented data will be significant for evolution relationships study among fish species.
