The basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus) is the world's second largest fish and the subject of strong conservation concern. Minimal genetic assessment exists for this globally distributed but regionally endangered species. We describe the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of C. maximus, obtained via polymerase chain reaction-based Sanger sequencing. The total length of the mitogenome is 16,670 bp and consists of 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and 13 protein-coding genes. The base composition has an A + T bias (63.6%), as is often seen in other sharks. Gene order is equivalent to that found in most vertebrates.
姥鲨（Cetorhinus maximus）是世界上第二大鱼类，受到了强烈的保护关注。对于这种全球分布但区域濒危的物种，遗传评估极少。我们描述了通过基于聚合酶链反应的桑格测序获得的姥鲨完整线粒体基因组序列。线粒体基因组全长16,670 bp，由2个rRNA、22个tRNA和13个蛋白质编码基因组成。碱基组成具有A + T偏向性（63.6%），这在其他鲨鱼中很常见。基因顺序与大多数脊椎动物中的相同。
