title: Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes, Prochilodontidae).
abstract: Prochilodus lineatus (curimba) is an important Brazilian freshwater migratory fish with substantial economic importance in fishing. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. lineatus is 16,699 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and one control region (D-loop). The mtDNA of P. lineatus is the first mitogenome of the Prochilodontidae family to be fully characterized. All of the PCGs in the mtDNA use the standard ATG start codon, with the exception of Cox1 that utilizes the GTG start codon. Six of the 13 PCGs contain TAA stop codons, two contain the incomplete stop codon TA- (Atp6 and Nd6), and five contain the incomplete stop codon T- - (Nd2, Cox2, Nd3, Nd4 and Cytb).
