The total length of the mitogenome was 18,166 bp and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and one non-coding control region. The gene organization and length are similar to other <i>Mobula</i> species. This reference mitogenome that includes the control region is expected to be a valuable resource for molecular-based species identification, population genomics, and phylogeography.Mitochondrial DNA.
