Brycon nattereri is a Brazilian fish species of the order Characiformes (Bryconidae). Like others in the genus, B. nattereri is classified as “vulnerable” on the red list of endangered species. For this work, we collected a sample of B. nattereri from the Upper Paraná and São Francisco river basins, identified it and registered in an ichthyology collection. Whole genome sequencing was performed by Illumina. The raw reads were assembled with Novoplasty and the sequence annotated with MitoAnnotator. This is the third complete mitochondrial genome described for the genus and is available on GenBank: MT428073.1 and MT428074.1.
