Scleropages formosus is listed as a critically endangered species under the IUCN red list due its rapidly dwindling population as it is widely trafficked for its great value in aquarium market. In this article, we determined and described the complete mitogenome of S. formosus, which is 16,643 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, one origin of replication on the light-strand (OL) and a putative control region. All the protein-coding genes use the initiation codon ATG except COI use GTG. Most of them have TAA or TAG as the stop codon, except COI uses AGA, COII, ND4 and Cyt b use an incomplete stop codon T. In order to explore its taxonomic status, phylogenetic tree involving all the Osteoglossiformes species available was constructed, contributing to phylogenetic studies of Osteoglossiformes and further conservation strategies for this species.
