Complete mitochondrial genome of gray black carp ().

The black carp (), native to eastern Asian, is a large, commercially valuable fish, and has been widely introduced to other countries. In this study, the mitochondrial gene sequence of gray black carp ( MT084757) in Foshan, Guangdong Province was first determined using the Sanger sequencing method. The mitochondrial DNA genome was 16,616 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall nucleotide composition of the mitochondrial DNA is 32.04% A, 24.52% T, 15.68% C, 27.76% G, with 56.56% AT, respectively. Phylogenetic tree analysis suggests that the gray black carp ( MT 084757) is closely related to and . The complete mitochondrial genome of the gray black carp ( MT 084757) would be useful for researching the causes of changes in body color.
