Abstract

Seriola lalandi comprises three genetically distinct clades, with S. lalandi lalandi inhabiting the Southern Hemisphere. While a chromosome‐level genome exists for the Northwestern Pacific S. lalandi aureovittata , no such resource is available for S. lalandi lalandi , limiting genetic research and aquaculture advancements. This study presents a high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly of S. lalandi lalandi using Illumina short‐read, long‐read (ONT) and Hi‐C. A total of 289.12 Gb of raw genomic data were generated, and a final assembly of 644 Mb was produced with 99.64% of the assembled bases anchored into 24 pseudo‐chromosomes. Genome annotation identified 24,600 protein‐coding genes, with 96.1% completeness based on 3640 Benchmarking Universal Single‐Copy Orthologues (BUSCO). Additionally, the complete mitogenome was assembled and annotated for S. lalandi lalandi . This genomic resource will help to inform comparative genomic studies, improve aquaculture breeding programmes, and support appropriate fishery strategies, particularly in Aotearoa New Zealand, where S. lalandi lalandi is a culturally significant species for Māori.
