Abstract

In this study, we provide the report of a mitochondrial genome of Shaw’s sea snake (Hydrophis curtus). The total length of the mitogenome is 17839 bp, which was composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes (12 s and 16 s rRNA), 22 tRNA genes. The base composition was 32.6% for A, 27.4% for T, 26.7% for C, and 13.3% for G. The sequence presented would be useful for future phylogenetic and evolutionary study of sea snakes.
