The black sea cucumber, , is an ecologically and economically important holothuroid in China due to broader environmental adaptation and valuable pharmacological compounds. However, the wild stocks of , have been declining steadily due to overexploitation in recent years. The stock enhancement programme has become an increasingly important priority. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of . The mitogenome has 15,839 base pairs (57.6% A + T content) and made up of total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs and 2 ribosomal RNAs), and a putative control region. The complete mitogenomes of will provide useful genetic information for future conservation and management of this valuable and vulnerable species.
黑海参在中国是一种在生态和经济方面都很重要的海参，因为它具有更广泛的环境适应性和有价值的药理化合物。然而，近年来由于过度捕捞，黑海参的野生种群数量一直在稳步下降。增殖放流计划已成为日益重要的优先事项。在本研究中，我们报告了黑海参的完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组有15,839个碱基对（A+T含量为57.6%），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），以及一个假定的控制区。黑海参的完整线粒体基因组将为该珍贵且易危物种未来的保护和管理提供有用的遗传信息。
