The complete mitochondrial genome of the common strain black carp (Cyprinus carpio var. baisenensis).

The common strain black carp (Cyprinus carpio var. baisenensis), known for its black skin is cultured in the integrated rice-agriculture system and non-escape property under torrential floods. The total mitogenome length of Cyprinus carpio var. baisenensis obtained in this study was 16,478bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2rRNA genes (large and small), a light strand origin of replication, and one major non-coding region. By providing the complete mitochondrial genomes of Cyprinus carpio var. baisenensis, we will further understand the phylogenetic relationships within genus.
