Gene Editing: CRISPR, GMOs, and the Quest for Disease Resistant Salmon
Listen now
Description
What if the key to solving aquaculture's biggest challenges lay hidden in a strand of DNA? This week’s episode discusses deep into the science and controversy surrounding gene editing, exploring how tools like CRISPR are transforming the possibilities for seafood and agriculture. From the basics of genomics and the pivotal discoveries behind CRISPR technology to the stark regulatory differences between the U.S. and EU, we unpack how these advancements could revolutionize salmon farming. Learn how genetic research could solve industry challenges like sea lice resistance and why the path to adoption depends as much on policy as it does on science.  For more aquaculture insights, head to our Fish n’ Bits blog.
