title: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Hemibagrus sp. (Siluriformes: Bagridae).
abstract: At present, the phylogenetic and taxonomic positions of Bagridae and Siluriformes have long been unclear. In this paper, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitogenome of Hemibagrus sp. The total length was 16,529 bp, and was typically consist of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNA, a light-strand replication origin (OL) and a single large control region (CR). Except for eight tRNA and ND6 genes, all other mitochondrial genes were encoded on the heavy strand (H-strand). The gene content, organization and arrangement were identical to that of a typical bony fish. The overall base composition was 26.5%, 26.8%, 31.7% and 15.0% for T, C, A and G, respectively, with a slight bias on AT content (58.2%). This information could not only contribute to provide useful molecular data for the species identification, but also to further taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of Hemibagrus and Bagridae.
