Abstract

We report the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) from Bangladesh. The circular genome is 15,766 base pairs long, with a GC content of 38.1%, and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 control region.

Keywords: Macrobrachium rosenbergii; giant freshwater prawn; mitochondrial genome.
