| Abstract： | Acuticosta chinensis is an endemic freshwater mussel in China. The natural population of A. chinensis has dramatically declined due to water pollution, overexploitation and habitat destruction. In the present study, the complete maternal mitochondrial genome of A. chinensis was sequenced and annotated (GenBank Accession No. MF687347). The circular mitogenome is 15,653bp in length. There are 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes and 2 rRNA genes (16S rRNA and 12S rRNA). Phylogenetic analyses revealed that A. chinensis was closely related to Arconaia lanceolata and Lanceolaria grayana. These results will be essential for conservation planning and management of freshwater mussels, especially A. chinensis. |
