The darkbarbel catfish (Pelteobagrus vachelli), a species of significant economic value in China's aquaculture sector, is widely utilized in hybrid yellow catfish production due to its exceptional growth rate. The growth rate of male P. vachelli is significantly higher compared to females, making all-male breeding a promising market opportunity.

Despite its economic importance, the paucity of genomic information has constrained detailed genetic research and breeding efforts. In this study, we utilized PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing and Hi-C technologies to generate a meticulously assembled chromosome-level genome of the mud carp.

- - The Northern snakehead is an important aquaculture species in China, and research shows distinct growth differences based on sex, making mono-sex breeding highly beneficial for farming.
- - Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and transcriptome analysis, researchers identified 270 sexually dimorphic genetic markers and created two specific markers that can determine genetic sex in these fish.
- - A key sex-determination region was found on chromosome 3, along with three candidate genes linked to sex determination, suggesting the existence of a male heterogametic XX/XY system in Northern snakeheads.
