“…Moreover, the Patella organisms sampled were not identified to the species level, although according to their distribution and abundance in the intertidal areas sampled, they can be expected to comprise mainly P. caerulea, P. ulyssiponensis, and P. rustica (Bouzaza and Mezali 2018). Future studies should identify the sampled limpet species by using molecular techniques as proposed by Zaidi et al (2022), to ensure the relevance of conclusions regarding contaminant levels.…”

“…These coastal ecosystems in many regions are exposed to complex mixtures of contaminants such as trace elements (TEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These compounds can be harmful for marine organisms and persist in the environment, thereby posing environmental and health risks (Wilhelmsson et al 2013;Castro-Jiménez et al 2021;Sun et al 2022;Zaidi et al 2022).…”

“…Given the wide distribution and abundance, sedentary lifestyle, and key ecological role, P. caerulea has been used as bioindicator in studies aimed at assessing the environmental quality of coastal marine waters, through the measurement of bioaccumulation in tissues and the adverse biological effects of different classes of xenobiotics (Aydin-Önen and Öztürk, 2017; Reguera et al, 2018; Zaidi et al, 2022). In this context, a study investigated the potential influence of coastal urbanization on the genetic variation of P. caerulea (Fauvelot et al, 2009).…”

Patella caerulea(Linnaeus, 1758) is a molluscan limpet species of the class Gastropoda. Endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, it is considered to be a keystone species in tidal and subtidal habitats due to its primary role in structuring and regulating the ecological balance of these habitats. It is currently being used as a bioindicator to assess the environmental quality of coastal marine waters and as a model species to understand adaptation to ocean acidification. Here we provide a high-quality reference genome assembly and annotation forPatella caerulea. We used a single specimen collected in the field to generate ∼30 Gb of PacBio HiFi data. The final assembly is 749.8 Mb large and contains 62 contigs, including the mitochondrial genome (14,938 bp). With an N50 of 48.8 Mb and 98% of the assembly contained in the 18 largest contigs, this assembly is near chromosome-scale. BUSCO scores were high (Mollusca: 87.8% complete; Metazoa: 97.2% complete) and similar to metrics observed for other chromosome-levelPatellagenomes, highlighting a possible bias in the Mollusca database for Patellids. We generated transcriptomic Illumina data from a second individual collected at the same locality, and used it together with protein evidence to annotate the genome. 23,938 protein coding gene models were found. By comparing this annotation with other publishedPatellaannotations, we found that the distribution and median values of exon and gene lengths was comparable to otherPatellaspecies despite different annotation approaches. The present high-qualityPatella caeruleareference genome is an important resource for future ecological and evolutionary studies.SignificanceReference genomes are essential resources for biodiversity conservation and management.Patella caerulea(Linnaeus, 1758) is a gastropod species occurring in the Mediterranean Sea that is currently used as a model to understand the impact of pollution and ocean acidification on marine biodiversity. Here we present a high-quality reference genome ofP. caerulea, that almost reaches chromosome-level contiguity. We further provide a high-quality genome annotation supported by transcriptomic evidence. This reference genome will be of interest for researchers working on the ecology and evolution of marine biodiversity. All data is available on the public database NCBI for future use by researchers.
