The complete mitochondrial genome of the silver chub, Macrhybopsis storeriana

The complete mitochondrial genome of the silver chub M. storeriana was determined to be 16,709 bp and contained 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and one control region. The whole genome base composition was 30.3% A, 28% T, 25.5% C and 16.2 G. This complete mitochondrial genome provides essential molecular markers for resolving phylogeny and aiding future conservation efforts.
