The complete mitochondrial genome of was sequenced by high throughput sequencing method. Length of this genome is 16,795 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one large non-coding region. and eight tRNA genes are encoded by L-strand, and others are encoded by H-strand, which is similar to those in most vertebrates. Phylogenetic tree based on 13 protein-coding genes shows that the clade of is closely clustered with that of , and families Caproidae and Ephippidae have the closest relationship to Gerridae, comparing with Sillaginidae.
