The complete mitochondrial genomes of two endangered bitterling and (Cyprinidae, Acheilognathinae).

(tabira bitterling) comprises of 5 subspecies, all of which are endangered. In this study, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the 2 subspecies, and whose mitogenomes have not been reported previously, was determined. The total lengths of and mitogenomes were 16,774 bp and 16,770 bp, respectively, and were noted as slightly AT-rich. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these 2 subspecies of were the most closely related, out of the 5 subspecies. The deciphered mitogenomes would be useful for conservation and evolutionary studies.
