The reference genome of Valencia hispanica, a critically endangered actinopterygian species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, is key to unravelling its genetic architecture and adaptation to freshwater ecosystems. This genomic resource will enable targeted conservation efforts and shed light on the species essential role in ecological dynamics, including its contributions to algal biomass regulation and role in the aquatic food web while also highlighting the challenges it faces from habitat degradation and invasive species. Furthermore, it offers opportunities to gain valuable insights into the evolutionary paths within the Valenciidae family, significantly advancing our comprehension of genetic diversity and adaptability in aquatic ecosystems. The entirety of the genome sequence was assembled into 24 contiguous chromosomal pseudomolecules. This chromosome-level assembly encompasses 1.29Gb, composed of 99 contigs and 28 scaffolds, with contig and scaffold N50 values of 38.3Mb and 56.9Mb, respectively.
