In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore how epigenetic regulation is shaping the next era of aquaculture productivity. From DNA methylation to heritable molecular memory, it reveals how environmental factors can rewrite biological instructions, impacting growth, health, and resilience in aquatic species. Discover how this science could redefine selective breeding and fish health strategies. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2022 article titled "Genetic and epigenetic regulation of growth, reproduction, disease resistance and stress responses in aquaculture" by Liu, Z., Zhou, T., & Gao, D.
