The complete mitochondrial genome of Leuciscus leuciscus baicalensis was cloned and sequenced in the present study. The genome which had a mostly conserved structural organization in comparison with that of other teleost fish was 16,606 bp in size. It consisted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes), and 2 main non-coding regions (the control region and the origin of the light strand replication). All protein-coding genes started with ATG except for COX 1, which began with GTG. However, the termination codons of 13 protein-coding genes varied with TAA, TA, T or TAG. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence provided useful information for phylogenetic analysis and studies of population genetics of L. leuciscus baicalensis.
