| Summary: | The Hyporhamphus dussumieri is a kind of minor commercial fishes, usually marketed fresh and dried salted. However, to date, there is a limited genetic resource available for this species. In this study, we assembled the whole mitochondrial genome of this species yielding a 16,542 bp circular assembly composed of the typical vertebrate mitochondrial features. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, a putative control region, and one origin of replication on the light-strand. The overall base composition includes C(28.3%), A(28.9%), T(27.1%), and G(15.7%). Moreover, the 13 PCGs encode 3800 amino acids in total. The result of the phylogenetic tree supports H. dussumieri has a closest relationship with Hemiramphus far.
