Chromosome-level genome assembly of the small yellow croaker, Larimichthys polyactis (Perciformes: Sciaenidae).

ABSTRACT: Small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) represents an important commercial fish species in China. A high-quality genome is essential for evaluating the fine-scale genetic structure, which has significant implications for the conservation of wild stocks, fishery management, and the utilization of germplasm in L. polyactis. This study presents a chromosome-level genome of L. polyactis generated by employing the PacBio high-fidelity (HiFi) and high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) technologies. The complete genome spans 677.35 Mb with a scaffold N50 size of 28.51 Mb. A substantial portion of the genome, totaling 663.13 Mb (97.90%), was anchored to 24 chromosomes. Based on Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Ortholog (BUSCO) analysis, L. polyactis exhibits high genomic co
