The complete mitochondrial genome of Artemia sinica was obtained using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. The mitochondrial genome is a circular molecule of 15,689 bp in length, with the typical structure of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding control region (CR). The base composition is 31.53% A, 18.99% C, 16.50% G, and 32.98% T, with an A + T content of 64.51%. All tRNAs have a cloverleaf structure excepting tRNA-Ser1, that represents the D-loop structure.
