title: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Anabas testudineus (Perciformes, Anabantidae).
abstract: We present the complete mitochondrial genome of the Anabas testudineus in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,603 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The nucleotide compositions of the light strand are 29.40% of C, 28.63% of A, 25.79% of T, and 16.18% of G. With the exception of ND6 and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. All the protein-coding genes begin with an ATG initiation codon except for COXІ with GTG. Four types of termination codons revealed are TAA (COXІ, ATP8, ND4L, CYTB), T (COXП, ND3, ND4), TA (ND2, ATP6, COXШ), and TAG (ND1, ND5, ND6). Most genes are either abutted or overlapped and many features keep consistent with the other vertebrates.
