Abstract
Acheilognathus omeiensis is a small-size freshwater ornamental fish. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of A. omeiensis was first determined. This mitogenome was 16,774 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 main noncoding regions. Most mitochondrial genes were encoded on the H-strand, except for ND6 and eight tRNA genes. The base composition was 28.97% A, 27.72% T, 26.02% C, and 17.29% G, with 56.69% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the nucleotide sequence of 13 PCGs of A. omeiensis and closely related 12 species ticks to assess their phylogenic relationship and evolution. These data should be helpful for a better understanding of the mitochondrial genomic diversities and evolution in fish as well as novel genetic markers for studying population genetics and species identification.

KEYWORDS Acheilognathus omeiensis; Mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis
Acheilognathus omeiensis (Cyprinidae, Acheilognathinae) is a small-size freshwater ornamental fish
The 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs) started with a common initiation codon ATG and the remaining COI with GTG, which was similar with A. somjinensis and A. macropterus (Hwang et al 2014; Zhu et al 2014)
Summary
KEYWORDS Acheilognathus omeiensis; Mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis Acheilognathus omeiensis (Cyprinidae, Acheilognathinae) is a small-size freshwater ornamental fish. The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence was first determined by the generation sequencing (NGS).
