6. Toothfish, Climate Genomics, and the Southern Ocean
Description
Join us on South Pole as we delve into the fascinating world of pelagic notothenioids, genomics, climate change, and the Southern Ocean. Hosted by Clark Marchese, this episode features marine biologist Dr. Jilda Alicia Caccavo from the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace in Paris. Discover why these unique fish are vital to the Antarctic ecosystem, how they evolved to survive in frigid waters, and the significance of their antifreeze proteins and white blood. Dr. Caccavo explains how studying their genes can reveal insights into their responses to climate change. Tune in for an engaging conversation filled with scientific discoveries, surprising fish adaptations, and the broader implications for understanding our changing planet.
