Parupeneus biaculeatus, also known as pointed goatfish, belongs to the family Mullidae and is distinguished by its unique hyoid barbels containing sensory organs and a specialized foraging strategy, setting it apart from other fish species and making it an ideal model for studying biological adaptations and evolutionary processes. In this study, we present a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for P. biaculeatus using HiFi long reads and Hi-C data. The assembled genome has a total leng
