Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Sardina pilchardus (the sardine; Chordata; Actinopteri; Clupeiformes; Clupeidae). The genome sequence spans 869.40 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 17.57 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Clupeiformes; Sardina pilchardus; chromosomal; genome sequence; sardine.
