The green tiger prawn, , is one of the economically important penaeid shrimp due to its larger body size compared with other shrimps in Penaeidae family. However, the taxonomic revision studies of Penaeidae have been one of the most controversial issues in recent years. Moreover, there are at least two morphotypes of the green tiger prawn, one with banded antenna, another with non-banded antenna. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of . The mitogenome has 16,002 base pairs (68.6% A + T content) and made up of total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), and a control region. This study adds one more available complete mitogenomes of and will provide useful genetic information for future evolutionary and taxonomic classification of Penaeidae.
绿虎虾（ ）因其体型比对虾科的其他虾类更大，是具有重要经济价值的对虾之一。然而，近年来对虾科的分类修订研究一直是最具争议的问题之一。此外，绿虎虾至少有两种形态型，一种是有带状触角的，另一种是无带状触角的。在本研究中，我们报道了 的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组有16,002个碱基对（A+T含量为68.6%），总共由37个基因组成（13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转运RNA和2个核糖体RNA）以及一个控制区。本研究增加了一个 的完整线粒体基因组，将为未来对虾科的进化和分类提供有用的遗传信息。
