Cebidichthys violaceus Genomic Resources. Cebidichthys violaceus

The Monkeyface Prickleback (Cebidichthys violaceus) is an eel-shaped fish in the family Stichaeidae and the only species its genus. It recruits to the rocks of the intertidal zone as a juvenile and migrates to the shallow subtidal as an adult. Cebidichthys is nearly endemic to California with its range extending from Point Conception to just north of the Oregon border. Their diet consists of zooplankton and small crustaceans as juveniles, but changes to predominantly algae during their development, making C. violaceus a relatively rare example of a temperate marine herbivorous fish.. These data have been produced as part of the CCGP. Sequencing was conducted with HiFi Pacific Biosciences long reads at UCDavis Genome Core, Dovetail's OmniC libraries, and Illumina sequencing at UCBerkeley QB3 Genomics Core.
