Complete mitochondrial genome of the Korean bitterling Acheilognathus koreensis (Cypriniformes; Cyprinidae).

The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced from the Korean bitterling Acheilognathus koreensis. The genome sequence was 16,563 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical with the same genera Acheilognathus signifier and other previously reported fish mitochondrial genomes. Of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), four genes (CO2, CO3, ND4, and Cytochrome b) had incomplete stop codons. The base composition of A. koreensis showed anti-G bias (13.69%) on the third position of PCGs.
