Mekong fighting fish () are found in Northeast Thailand. A complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of was assembled and annotated. Mitogenome sequences were 16,372 bp in length, with slight AT bias (59.8%), containing 37 genes with identical order to most teleost mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analysis of showed closer relationship with as the bubble-nesting group, compared to the mouthbrooder group (, , and ). Results will allow the creation of a reference annotated genome that can be utilized to sustain biodiversity and eco-management of betta bioresources to improve conservation programs.
湄公河斗鱼（）分布于泰国东北部。组装并注释了一个完整的湄公河斗鱼线粒体基因组（线粒体基因组）。线粒体基因组序列长度为16372 bp，具有轻微的AT偏向性（59.8%），包含37个基因，其排列顺序与大多数硬骨鱼线粒体基因组相同。湄公河斗鱼的系统发育分析表明，与口育鱼组（、和）相比，作为泡巢鱼组，它与关系更密切。研究结果将有助于创建一个参考注释基因组，可用于维持斗鱼生物资源的生物多样性和生态管理，以改进保护计划。
