The deep-water redfish, , is an ecologically and economically important holothuroid in China due to its valuable nutrition and pharmacological compounds. However, the taxonomy and phylogeny of the have been debated and misidentifications have been reported recently. Moreover, there remain considerable doubts about cryptic species complex within . In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of from . The mitogenome has 15,619 base pairs (62.9% A + T content) and made up of a total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs), and a putative control region. This study was the first available complete mitogenome of and will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and taxonomic classification of Holothuriidae.
深水红海参在中国是一种具有重要生态和经济价值的海参，因其富含珍贵的营养成分和药理化合物。然而，该海参的分类学和系统发育一直存在争议，近期也有错误鉴定的报道。此外，关于该海参中隐存物种复合体仍存在诸多疑问。在本研究中，我们报道了来自[具体地点]的该海参的首个完整线粒体基因组。该线粒体基因组有15,619个碱基对（A+T含量为62.9%），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），还有一个假定的控制区。本研究是该海参首个可得的完整线粒体基因组，将为未来海参科的系统发育和分类学研究提供有用的遗传信息。
