The Devils Hole pupfish () is an imperiled cypinodontid fish endemic to Devils Hole, a single groundwater-fed pool in western North America characterized by temperature and oxygen conditions lethal to most fishes. In this study, we obtained the 16,499 base pair (bp) mitochondrial DNA sequence of . The mitogenome encodes 13 polypeptides, 22 tRNAs, 12S and 18S rRNAs, and an 832 bp D-loop region, and has a nucleotide composition of A, 25.69%; T, 27.32%; G, 17.49%; and C, 29.50% (GC content: 46.99%). The availability of this mitogenome will facilitate evaluations of genetic structure for management and conservation of this iconic endangered species.
魔洞鳉是一种濒危的鲤齿鳉科鱼类，为北美西部魔洞所特有，魔洞是一个由地下水补给的水池，其温度和氧气条件对大多数鱼类来说是致命的。在本研究中，我们获得了魔洞鳉16,499个碱基对（bp）的线粒体DNA序列。该线粒体基因组编码13种多肽、22种tRNA、12S和18S rRNA以及一个832 bp的D环区域，其核苷酸组成为：A占25.69%；T占27.32%；G占17.49%；C占29.50%（GC含量：46.99%）。该线粒体基因组的可得性将有助于评估该标志性濒危物种的遗传结构，以进行管理和保护。
