The complete mitochondrial genome of hybrid grouper from Epinephelus awoara (♀) ×E. tukula (♂) was obtained by PCR amplification. The circular genome was 16,801 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region (D-loop region). The overall base composition was as follows: A: 28.46%, T: 27.27%, C: 27.27%, G: 16.49%. The new results may provide valuable data for the genetic and taxonomic research on artificial hybrid grouper.
