title: Complete mitochondrial genome organization of Schizothorax esocinus (Heckel, 1838).
abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Schizothorax esocinus, an endemic coldwater fish of Himalayas, was determined for the first time. The genome is 16,583 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2rRNA genes and 1 putative control region. The gene organization and its order were similar to other vertebrates. The overall base composition was; A 29.8%, G 17.8%, C 27%, T 25.4%, A + T content 55.2% and the G + C content 44.8%. The control region was also consisted of a microsatellite locus (TA) 13 between 16,463 to 16,488 bp. The present study will provide the rationale for the management and conservation of S. esocinus.
