Complete mitochondrial genome of the striped sandgoby Acentrogobius pflaumii (Perciformes, gobiidae).

The striped sandgoby, Acentrogobius pflaumii (Perciformes, Gobiidae), is a widespread goby inhabiting shallow sandy-muddy bottoms in temperate riverine estuaries and inner bays. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of A. pflaumii was firstly determined. The genome is 16,515 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light-strand replication). The overall base composition of A. pflaumii is 25.8% for T, 29.3% for C, 26.6% for A, and 18.3% for G, with a slight A+T bias of 52.4%. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement.
