Genome assembly and annotation of the tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum): an emblematic fish of the Amazon River Basin

Colossoma macropomum, known as “tambaqui”, is the largest Characiformes fish in the Amazon River Basin and a leading species in Brazilian aquaculture and fisheries. Good quality meat and excellent adaptability to culture systems are some of its remarkable farming features. To support st...
