Complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the East Asian minnow, Pungtungia herzi (Actinopterygii: Cypriniformes).

ABSTRACT: Some populations of the East Asian minnow Pungtungia herzi Herzenstein, 1892, which are naturally distributed in western Japan, have declined and are considered endangered. However, P. herzi has become a domestic invasive species in eastern Japan. Thus, knowledge of genetic features and phylogenetic relationships of P. herzi is important for conservation of this species and understanding its impact on ecosystems. We analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome using next generation sequencing of the East Asian minnow P. herzi from Yodo River, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The mitochondrial genome of P. herzi consists of a circular molecule of 16,599 bp that includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region. The heavy
