ABSTRACT

Caranx ignobilis, commonly known as the kingfish or giant trevally, is a large, reef-associated apex predator. It is a prized sportfish, targeted heavily throughout its tropical and subtropical range in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and it has drawn significant interest in aquaculture due to an unusual tolerance for freshwater. In this study, we present a high-quality nuclear genome assembly of a C. ignobilis individual from Hawaiian waters, which have recently been shown to host a genetically distinct population. The assembly has a contig NG50 of 7.3Mbp and scaffold NG50 of 46.3Mbp. Twenty-five of the 203 scaffolds contain 90% of the genome. We also present the raw Pacific Biosciences continuous long-reads from which the assembly was created. A Hi-C dataset (Dovetail Genomics Omni-C) and Illumina-based RNA-seq from eight tissues are also presented; the latter of which can be particularly useful for annotation and studies of freshwater tolerance. Overall, this genome assembly and supporting data is a valuable tool for ecological and comparative genomics studies of kingfish and other carangoid fishes.
