Sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) chromosome-level genome assembly.

ABSTRACT: Sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) are in the suborder Cottioidei, which also includes stickleback and lumpfish. This species inhabits coastal regions of the northeastern and northwestern Pacific Ocean from California to Japan. A commercial fishery for sablefish began to flourish in the 1960s, though a downward trend in stock biomass and landings has been observed since 2010. Aquaculture protocols have been developed for sablefish; eggs and sperm from wild-caught and hatchery-reared captive broodstock are used to generate offspring that reach market size in about two years. Parentage analyses show that survival in aquaculture varies among families. Growth rate and disease resistance also vary among individuals and cohorts, but the extent to which genetics and the environment contribute to this
