The Snowtrout, Schizothorax richardsonii, is a vulnerable fish species found in different rivers and rivulets of the Himalayan region. The species is also a suitable poikilotherm to study the low-temperature tolerance as it dwells well at a temperature range of 5–20 °C. The solute carrier (SLC) group of membrane transport proteins play an integral role in cellular acclimation response. The present RNA sequencing was done to identify solute carrier transporter which are the major gene cascades responsible for transport of sugars, amino acids, oligonucleotides, ions, drugs, etc. to and from the cell organelles. A reference transcriptome database was created from liver tissue of Schizothorax richardsonii through RNA sequencing on Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. The sequences were annotated and characterized under various solute carrier families in the species. So far, 113 transcripts were identified as solute carrier transporter genes categorized under 13 different families. This data will be useful for many researchers working on gene cloning and differential expression of solute carriers.
