Abstract

Aythya fuligula belongs to the genus of Aythya (Anseriformes, Anatidae), which only has 12 species worldwide. The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of A. fuligula was implemented. A circular molecule of 16,616 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNAs and a non-coding AT-rich region. Its gene arrangement patterns were identical to the most other species of Anseriformes.
