摘要

In this study, we first determined and described the complete mitochondrial genome of Acentrogobius caninus, a member of the Family Gobiidae. The complete mitogenome sequence is 16,616 bp in length containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, a putative control region (CR), and a light-strand replication origin (OL). Phylogenetic analysis suggests that A. caninus boasts a close relationship with other two species of the genus Acentrogobius. Our results are expected to provide useful molecular information for species identification and further phylogenetic studies of the Gobiiformes family.
