A resource for sustainable management: De novo assembly and annotation of the liver transcriptome of the Atlantic chub mackerel, Scomber colias

Mackerels represent a valuable fishery worldwide. Their ample geographic distribution and capture levels make them an insightful model to address stock management strategies in the context of global changes. Yet, and despite recent impressive genome and transcriptome sequencing efforts from teleost...
