The sequence and de-novo assembly of the Pampus argenteus (Silver pomfret) genome
Silver pomfret or Zobaidy as locally known in the Gulf region, belongs to the family Stromateidae. It is a highly valuable fish species in the region. The stock is shared among Kuwait, Iraq and Iran. Zobaidy stock is under heavy exploitation in the northern Gulf area as revealed from the drastic decrease in landings and catch rates. Genetic characterization of this species would greatly help in stock conservation through proper management and sustainable productivity. In this study the genome sequencing was carried out using Illumina Genome Analyzer.
The accession and its GCC connection are verified. Registration alone does not establish that the broader research programme remains active.
