We sequenced and characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of golden yellow snakehead fish, Channa argus. The mitogenomes contained the typical complement of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and a non-coding control region. They share the same gene arrangement pattern that was identical with most vertebrates. The entire mitochondrial DNA molecule of golden yellow snakehead fish was 16,558 bp long. All information reported in this article will be a useful source of sequence information for general molecular and evolutionary studies of the family Channidae.
