Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Chelidonichthys lucerna (red gurnard; Chordata; Actinopteri; Perciformes; Triglidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 649.07 megabases and 651.58 megabases. Most of haplotype 1 (96.66%) is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Haplotype 2 was assembled to scaffold level. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled, with a length of 16.52 kilobases. This assembly was generated as part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, which produces reference genomes for eukaryotic species found in Britain and Ireland.
