Abstract

Systomus sarana sarana, commonly known as olive barb, is an important food and ornamental fish species with wide distribution in South Asia. Here, the complete mitogenome was sequenced on HiSeq 2500. With 16,590 nucleotides, the base composition was 32.9% (A), 26% (C), 15.4% (G) and 25.7% (T), comparable with other carps. The clustering pattern depicted the monophyly of S. sarana sarana with sister cyprinids.

Keywords: Mitogenome; next-generation sequencing; phylogeny; protein coding genes (PCG).
