The Weddell seal, , which belongs to the family Phocidae, is an abundant pinniped that inhabits the Antarctica. Here, we present the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogeny of . The total length of the mitogenome is 16,762 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes. The base composition of the mitogenome is 34.26% (A), 25.51% (T), 27.09% (C), and 13.11% (G), and 40.22% for overall GC contents. The description of this mitogenome can provide information about variations at the intra-species level and aid phylogenetic studies in family Phocidae.
威德尔海豹属于海豹科，是一种数量众多的鳍足类动物，栖息在南极洲。在此，我们展示了威德尔海豹的完整线粒体基因组和系统发育情况。线粒体基因组全长16762 bp，由13个蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）、22个tRNA基因和2个rRNA基因组成。线粒体基因组的碱基组成为34.26%（A）、25.51%（T）、27.09%（C）和13.11%（G），总体GC含量为40.22%。对该线粒体基因组的描述可以提供种内水平变异的信息，并有助于海豹科的系统发育研究。
