Can genetic engineering create the perfect seafood experience?
In short: While humans have consumed seafood for millennia, many species grow slowly or have seasonal taste issues. This video explores how scientists use genetics to overcome these biological hurdles to improve what ends up on your plate.
The video investigates the intersection of marine biology and genetics to address two primary consumer challenges: slow growth rates and inconsistent flavor profiles. By manipulating genetic traits, researchers aim to produce seafood that is both more efficient to farm and more palatable year-round.
