Here we describe the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of endangered minnow, Metzia mesembrinum, which collected from Kimnen island, Fujian Province of Taiwan. The circular mitogenome (16,603 bp) consists of 13 protein coding, 22 tRNA, 2 rRNA genes and 1 control region. It has the typical vertebrate mitochondrial gene arrangement. The overall base composition in descending order is A (32.0%), T (27.1%), C (25.2%), G (15.7%) with rather higher AT content as 59.1%. Yuan et al. reported the complete mitogenome (KF997093) of M. mesembrimum from southern China that may belong to other congeneric species, but not exactly M. mesembrinum collected from either southern Fujian or Taiwan. The well-identified species sequence data of Metzia mesembrinum would be rather beneficial for further phlyogenetic approach for congeneric species in East and Southeast Asia.
在此，我们描述了濒危鲦鱼——间下鱵（Metzia mesembrinum）的完整线粒体基因组序列，该样本采集自中国台湾地区福建省金门岛。环状线粒体基因组（16,603 bp）由13个蛋白质编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个控制区组成。它具有典型的脊椎动物线粒体基因排列。碱基总体组成从高到低依次为A（32.0%）、T（27.1%）、C（25.2%）、G（15.7%），AT含量较高，为59.1%。袁等人报道了来自中国南方的间下鱵完整线粒体基因组（KF997093），该样本可能属于其他同属物种，但并非确切来自闽南或台湾采集的间下鱵。明确鉴定的间下鱵物种序列数据将对东亚和东南亚同属物种的进一步系统发育研究大有裨益。
