The complete mitochondrial genome of Hypomesus olidus (Osmeriformes: Osmeridae).

Pond smeltHypomesus olidusis a small-sized economic species of freshwater fish with delicious meat and high output. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome ofH. olidussequenced to be 16,786 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and a control region. The overall base composition ofH. olidusis 24.3% for A, 27.3% for T, 29.2% for C and 19.2% for G, with a slight A + T bias. The mitogenome sequence data may provide useful information to the population genetics analysis ofH. olidusand the elucidation of evolutionary mechanisms inHypomesusfish. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
