Abstract
Taxonomic classification of Eriocheir hepuensis was ambiguous, and it has long been controversial. In this study, the whole mitochondrial genome of E. hepuensis was determined to be 16,397 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region. A total of 20 intergenic gaps were detected, and the AT content of whole mitochondrial genome was 71.78%. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the evolutionary relationship of E. hepuensis, E. sinensis, and E. japonica are most likely to be three species with the same taxonomic status. The whole mitogenome of this species will be useful for the future animal evolutionary, phylogenetic relationship, phylogeny and genomic studies in the genus Eriocheir.
