Popis: We report here the complete mitochondrial genome of Mergus merganser, which was determined using Illumina next-generation sequencing. The complete mitogenome is 16,631 bp, with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The order and structure of the genes are similar to those of other Anatinae species. The overall base composition of the mitogenome is 28.7% (A), 21.8% (T), 16.0% (G), and 33.2% (C), with AT contents of 50.7%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 concatenated PCG sequences indicated that M. merganser is closely related to M. squamatus (HQ833701 and NC016723) with high bootstrap values (100%).
