The complete mitochondrial genome of the Angolan dentex (Dentex angolensis, Poll and Maul, 1953) is 16.581 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA genes. The overall base composition of D. angolesis mtDNA is: 27.4% for A, 28% for C, 16.7% for G, 27.9% for T. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that D. angolensis is most closely related to D. tumifrons. Whole genome sequencing of D. angolensis mitochondrial DNA will contribute to improving knowledge about Sparidae evolution.
