We determined the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of a Biwa goby, Gymnogobius isaza (Tanaka, 1916) using next-generation sequencing methods. The composition of its mitogenome is the same as that observed in most other vertebrates, comprising of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and two control regions. Our molecular phylogenetic analysis confirmed the close phylogenetic relationship between G. isaza and G. petschiliensis. This mitogenome information will be useful for distribution surveys using environmental DNA and the development of conservation strategies for this species.
