Abstract: In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the Symphysodon haraldi (Schultz, 1960) has been sequenced by next-generation sequencing method. The mitogenome consists of 16 543 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of the fish is 28.8% for A, 30.1% for C, 15.0% for G, and 26.1% for T, suggesting a 97% identity to S. discus Heckel. It provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogeography and evolutionary analysis for Symphysodon phylogeny.
