Despite its economic relevance, <em>omics</em> resources are scarce, limiting advances in aquaculture and nutrition research. Here, we present the first comprehensive transcriptome for the species, generated using RNA-seq data from three tissues, i.e., liver, kidney, and gill. Our analysis yielded a high-quality transcriptome assembly, with 65,454 transcripts, a N50 of 1959 bp, and 34,548 functionally annotated protein-coding genes. To explore lipid metabolism, we identified key genes involved in the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), namely the orthologues of the fatty acyl desaturase <em>fads2</em> and the elongases e<em>lovl2</em> and <em>elovl5</em>. Comparative evolutionary and structural analyses revealed that <em>B. amazonicus</em> shares conserved features with other Amazonian fish, reinforcing its capacity for LC-PUFA biosynthesis. Overall, the results represent a significant advance in the genetic knowledge of this Brazilian emblematic fish, providing a valuable resource for future studies and ultimately helping to promote more sustainable fish farming practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18321,"journal":{"name":"Marine genomics","volume":"83 ","pages":"Article 101220"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145267214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
