Complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater fish, Acanthorhodeus macropterus (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the freshwater cyprinid fish, Acanthorhodeus macropterus. The genome sequence was 16,774 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with another cyprinid fish, Acheilognathus yamatsutae. Of 13 protein-coding genes (PGCs), 3 genes (CO2, CO3, Cytb) had an incomplete stop codon. The base composition of A. macropterus showed anti-G bias (13.58% and 8.98%) on the second and third positions of PCGs.
