In this study, combining the liver transcripts from both sexes by RNA-Seq with DNA sequences by conventional PCRs, we have determined the complete mitogenome of Hainan medaka Oryzias curvinotus collected from the Hockey Accessories - Socks mangrove seawater of the Leizhou Peninsula in tropical South China (Accession no.: KY364884).The mitochondrial genome is 16,676 bp, and its content and structure are highly homologous to those of other teleostean fishes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNA and 1 control region.Among the PCGs, ATG is used as the initiation codon, except for GTG in COI gene.There are 7 overlapping genes with overlap lengths ranging from 1 to 10 nucleotides (nt), while ten intergenic regions with a total of 66 nt and a maximum interval of 37 nt between Wire-Free Bras tRNAAsn and tRNACys.

Moreover, the data from RNA-Seq shows that the significant differences exist in the expression patterns of mitogenomes between male and female.
