The complete mitochondrial genome of Gymnocranius elongatus (Senta, 1973)
Gymnocranius elongatus, an endemic flatfish from China's coastal waters, has remained taxonomically contentious owing to its distinctive morphology and osteology. We sequenced and annotated the first complete mitochondrial genome of this species. The circular mitogenome spans 16,501 bp, encoding 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region.
