Complete mitochondrial genome of the larval (Gasterosteiformes, Syngnathidae) from Yangtze estuary and the phylogenetic relationship of genus .

The complete mitochondrial genome of the larval collected from Yangtze estuary was determined by next-generation sequencing. The mitogenome is a circular molecule 16,465 bp in length, including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The TAS, central CSB and CSB were detected in the control region. The gene contents of the mitogenome are identical to those observed in most marine bony fishes. The NJ phylogenetic tree showed that clustered in a branch close to the species from the same genus.
