Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Parachromis managuensis (Perciformes: Cichlidae) is sequenced in this study. The genome sequence was 16 526 bp in length, with the base composition of 28.1% A, 25.5% T, 15.4% G, 31.0% C. The gene order and genes are the same as found in other previously reported cichlid fish, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 D-loop region. Except for ND6 gene and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes were encoded on the heavy strand. Parachromis managuensis was closely related to Amphilophus citrinellus and Petenia splendid, based on its complete mitochondrial genome sequences. This complete mitogenome data provide the basis for taxonomic and conservation research of Parachromis managuensis.
