We report the draft genome sequence of a novel member of the order Picornavirales that was obtained from the gills of farmed Japanese eel ( Anguilla japonica ). A putative polyprotein encoded by the genome was similar to that of other picornaviruses and shared 31% amino acid identity with that of eel picornavirus 1.
