Abstract

We present a genome assembly from an individual Scomber scombrus (the Atlantic mackerel; Chordata; Actinopteri; Scombriformes; Scombridae). The genome sequence has a total length of 764.10 megabases. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 16.56 kilobases in length.

Keywords: Atlantic mackerel; Scomber scombrus; Scombriformes; chromosomal; genome sequence.
