Abstract Objectives European whitefish ( Coregonus lavaretus L .) is a freshwater salmonid that inhabits cold regions of central and north Europe Siberia. It an important aquaculture species in Finland, selectively bred since 1999. The breeding programme has applied genomic selection uses SNP markers phenotypic data to improve traits such as growth, product quality, fish health. Salmonids are known for chromosomal rearrangements, the current C. reference genome based on individual from Switzerland may deviate Finnish one. Therefore, we have assembled whitefish. This allows us better assess genetic basis enhance accuracy selection. Data description was sequenced using combination Illumina PacBio technologies wtbg2 HiRise software. assembly size 2.94 Gb comprises 6,706 scaffolds with scaffold N50 1.36 Mb.
