Additional Comments	This was a very clear and well-written manuscript presenting a whole genome assembly for the giant trevally. This will serve as an important resource for future researcher interested in this and other closely related species of fish. I. only have a few minor suggestions but overall, found the paper to be of high-quality. -It would be helpful to include the estimated genome size and BUSCO score in the abstract -Include the species name on the X-axes of each column in Fig 5. -Several of the tables (Table2, Table6, for example) don't seem necessary in the main text as they are not really discussed in the paper and could included as supporting material.
