Genome data of the cyprinid fish, Pseudorasbora parva (Stone Moroko)

The stone moroko (<i>Pseudorasbora parva</i>), also known as the topmouth gudgeon, is a fish belonging to the Cyprinidae family, native to Asia, but introduced and now considered an invasive species in Europe and North America. The fish's size is rarely above 8 cm and usually 2 to 7.5 cm (0.79 to 2.95 in) long. The fish was introduced in the 1960s into ponds in Nucet, Dâmbovia County, Romania and it made its way into Danube, then spreading throughout Europe. These fish feed on eggs of locally valuable native fish species.[Wikipedia]<br> Here we present a publicly available high quality draft genome assembly of the stone moroko <i>P. parva</i>, with approximately 35.03 Gb of HiFi sequence data from 1 individual. This draft assembly consists of 234 contigs &gt;2kb in length, with the assembled genome spanning 1.29 Gb (contig N50 of 7.57 Mb). The BUSCO results indicated high genome assembly completeness, with 98.5% of single-copy core genes present.
