The complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in two individuals of the Arctic rainbow smelt . The genome sequences are 16,615 and 16,616 bp in size, and the gene arrangement, composition, and size are very similar to the other smelt mitochondrial genomes published previously. The difference between the two genomes studied is 0.25%, that is, 5.0 times higher in comparison with close species, the European smelt studied previously. The level of mitochondrial genome divergence between and close osmerid fishes, , and is high enough (6.86-7.54%) to consider all of them as separate biological species.
对两条北极虹鳟的线粒体全基因组进行了测序。基因组序列大小分别为16,615和16,616碱基对,其基因排列、组成和大小与之前发表的其他胡瓜鱼线粒体基因组非常相似。所研究的这两个基因组之间的差异为0.25%,即与之前研究的近缘物种欧洲胡瓜鱼相比高出5.0倍。与近缘胡瓜鱼科鱼类之间的线粒体基因组差异水平很高(6.86 - 7.54%),足以将它们全部视为独立的生物物种。
