Banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) is an economically important shrimp in marine aquaculture. Although there is plenty of transcriptome research for this species, the molecular mechanisms in thoracic ganglia of banana shrimp during ovarian maturation have not yet been investigated. Here we report the transcriptomic data of female banana shrimp obtained from thoracic ganglia during ovarian developmental stages. The samples were collected from four stages of ovarian development with two individual shrimps per stage. Total RNA was extracted and used to prepare the sequencing library. Approximately 188 million pair-end raw reads, ranging from 21 to 31 million reads for each library, were generated using an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. Quality control was applied to the raw reads before the assembly process. After de novo assembly, the final transcript assembly was generated by vector decontamination, coding regions prediction, redundancy reduction, and foreign sequence depletion. A total of 77,681 transcripts, ranging between 255 and 23,016 bp with an N50 value of 1,167 were obtained to the final assembly. Finally, the final transcripts assembly was evaluated by calculated assembly completeness with Arthropoda orthologous genes dataset. A total of 92.1% of Arthropoda orthologous genes were found in our final assembly. These data might provide benefits for gene discovery, gene annotation, transcript profiling, and other research topics in the context of banana shrimp.
