Misgurnus anguillicaudatus  has several natural ploidy types. To investigate whether nuclear polyploidy have an impact on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of five distinct ploidy  M. anguillicaudatus  (natural diploid, triploid, tetraploid, pentaploid and hexaploid), which were collected in central China, were sequenced and analyzed. The five mitogenomes share the same gene arrangement and have similar gene size, base composition and codon usage pattern. The most variable regions of the mitogenome were the protein-coding genes, especially the  ND4L  (5.39% mutation rate). Most variations occurred in tetraploids. The phylogenetic tree showed that the tetraploid  M. anguillicaudatus  separated early from other ploidy loaches. Meanwhile, the mitogenomes from pentaploids, and hexaploids have the closest phylogenetic relations, but far from that of tetraploids, implying that pentaploids and hexaploids could not be formed from tetraploids, possibly from the diploids and triploids. The genus  Misgurnus  species were divided into two divergent inter-genus clades, and the five ploidy  M. anguillicaudatus  were monophyletic, which support the hypotheses about the mitochondrial introgression in loach species.
