Abstract

Onychostoma macrolepis, which belongs to the genus Onychostoma (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae), is a benthopelagic fish that inhabits the flowing freshwaters in China. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of O. macrolepis is 16,595 bp in length and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. The base composition of the genome is 31.29% A, 24.53% T, 27.97 % C, and 16.21% G, showing considerable bias toward an A + T preference as 55.82%. The results can provide a basic database for analyzing the phylogenetic relationship and conservation genetics in the genus Onychostoma.
