Freshwater mussels perform important ecological functions in ecosystems, such as water filtration and energy cycling. Unlike marine bivalves, freshwater mussels have unique characteristics including internal fertilization and parental care. Some freshwater mussels are facing a high risk of extinction due to several factors such as climate change and habitat loss. (Lamarck, 1819) is one of the freshwater mussel species with a high risk of extinction and listed as Endangered in the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Here, we present the first F-type mitogenome sequence of . The genome was sequenced on an Illumina high-throughput platform from a specimen collected from the Tersakan River (Turkey). The 16,093 bp mitochondrial genome sequence contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs. Phylogenetic analysis placed in the Lamprotulini clade with , as expected. is a poorly studied species and the genomic resource provided here will contribute to a better understanding of its biological characterization.
