The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Oxuderces dentatus was determined first. The genome was 17,116 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 main non-coding regions [the control region (CR) and the origin of the light strand replication], the gene composition and order of which was similar to most other vertebrates. The overall base composition of the heavy strand was T 27.9%, C 26.8%, A 30.2%, and G 15.1%, with a slight A + T bias of 58.1%. In addition to the discrete and conserved sequence blocks, unusual long tandem repeat unit (three 150-bp tandem repeat units and an incomplete copy of 146 bp) was also detected within CR. This mitogenome sequence data would play an important role in population genetics and phylogenetic analysis of the Gobioidei.
