We present a genome assembly for Cottoperca gobio (channel bull blenny, (Günther, 1861)); Chordata; Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes), a temperate water outgroup for Antarctic Notothenioids. The size of the genome assembly is 609 megabases, with the majority of the assembly scaffolded into 24 chromosomal pseudomolecules. Gene annotation on Ensembl of this assembly has identified 21,662 coding genes.
