The complete mitochondrial genome of the hybrid of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (♀) x Pelteobagrus vachelli (♂)

In the present of study, we have reported the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the hybrid of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco (female) x Pelteobagrus vachelli (male) that is obtained by artificial hybridization. The total length of the mitochondrial genome is 16,527 bp, with the base compositions of 30.84% A, 25.54% T, 28.22% C, and 15.40% G. It contains two ribosomal RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a major non-coding control region (D-loop region). The arrangement of these genes is same as that observed in the teleosts. All protein initiation codons are ATG, except for COX1 that begins with GTG. The complete mitogenome of the hybrid of P. fulvidraco (female) x P. vachelli (male) provides an important data set for the exploration of mitochondrial inheritance mechanism. The termination-associated sequence and critical central conserved sequences (CSB-D, CSB-E and CSB-F) are also detected.
