The goeduck clam (Myoida: Hiatellidae) is one of the most important freshwater aquaculture species in China. In-spite of its economic importance, however, the genomic information of this species remains unavailable. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of along with annotated and fully characterized mitochondrial genes. The genome was found to be 15,381 bp in length with a total of 38 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs). The presence of a gene coding for ATPase subunit 8 was also noted. However, as expected in bivalves, the gene arrangements showed variations with that of the related species. This study adds to the repository of available mitogenomes of various Heterodonta and will greatly aid in future phylogenetic studies and species identification.
象拔蚌（贻贝目：海笋科）是中国最重要的淡水养殖物种之一。然而，尽管其具有经济重要性，但该物种的基因组信息仍然不可用。在本研究中，我们报告了其完整的线粒体基因组序列以及经过注释和充分表征的线粒体基因。发现该基因组长度为15381bp，共有38个基因（13个蛋白质编码基因、22个转移RNA和2个核糖体RNA）。还注意到存在一个编码ATPase亚基8的基因。然而，正如双壳类动物所预期的那样，基因排列与相关物种有所不同。这项研究增加了各种异齿亚纲动物可用线粒体基因组的库，并将极大地有助于未来的系统发育研究和物种鉴定。
