RNAseq data of Etroplus suratensis, hyper-salinity stress
Etroplus suratensis, commonly known as green chromide has unique resilience to salinity stress. This fish completes entire life cycle in freshwater to marine habitats making it an ideal species to understand salinity adaptation mechanisms. The current study generated RNAseq data on fish specimens exposed to high salinity stress. Three time points, 3-, 6- and 12-hour post salinity stress were targeted for sequencing of gill tissue.
