Scatophagus argusis a new emerging aquaculture fish in East and Southeast Asia. To date, research on reproductive development and regulation inS. argusis lacking. Additionally, genetic and genomic information about reproduction, such as gonadal transcriptome data, is also lacking. Herein, we report the first gonadal transcriptomes ofS. argusand identify genes potentially involved in reproduction and gonadal development. A total of 136,561 unigenes were obtained by sequencing of testes (n= 3) and ovaries (n= 3) at stage III. Genes upregulated in males and females known to be involved in gonadal development and gametogenesis were identified, including male-biaseddmrt1,amh,gsdf,wt1a,sox9b, andnanos2, and female-biasedfoxl2,gdf9,bmp15,sox3,zar1, andfigla. Serum estradiol-17β and 11-ketotestosterone levels were biased in female and male fish, respectively. Sexual dimorphism of serum steroid hormone levels were interpreted after expression analysis of 20 steroidogenesis-related genes, includingcyp19a1aandcyp11b2. This gonadal transcript dataset will help investigate functional genes related to reproduction inS. argus.
