The complete mitochondrial genome of the dotted gizzard shad Konosirus punctatus (Teleostei, Clupeidae) has been determined. The entire sequence is 16,706 bp in length, with a gene content (13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs and 1 control region) and organization similar to that observed in most other vertebrates. Overall base composition of the light strand was represented as 25.8% of A, 29.0% of C, 25.1% of T and 20.1% of G. With the exception of ND6 and eight tRNA genes, all other mitochondrial genes are encoded on the heavy strand. Tandem repeat sequences were observed in the control region, indicating a useful marker for population genetic studies.
斑点鲚（硬骨鱼纲，鲱科）的完整线粒体基因组已被测定。整个序列长度为16706 bp，其基因组成（13个蛋白质编码基因、2个核糖体RNA、22个转移RNA和1个控制区）及组织形式与大多数其他脊椎动物相似。轻链的总体碱基组成为：A占25.8%、C占29.0%、T占25.1%、G占20.1%。除ND6和8个tRNA基因外，所有其他线粒体基因都由重链编码。在控制区观察到串联重复序列，这表明它是群体遗传学研究的一个有用标记。
