Description
Lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus, have historically been harvested throughout Atlantic Canada and are increasingly in demand as a solution to controlling sea lice in Atlantic salmon farms – a process which involves both the domestication and the transfer of lumpfish between geographic regions. Here, we have 70K SNP array data and whole genome re-sequencing data (WGS) for a variety of sample sites across the Northwest Atlantic.
