Abstract: In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of the altum angelfish Pterophyllum altum (Pellegrin, 1903) has been sequenced by next-generation sequencing method. The mitogenome consists of 16 495 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs genes. The overall base composition of P. altum is 27.5% for A, 30.3% for C, 15.5% for G, and 26.7% for T, which shows a 92% identity to P. scalare. The complete mitogenome of the P. altum provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogeography and evolutionary analysis for the genus Pterophyllum phylogeny.
