Welcome to the very first episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, which is the first AI-based podcast in aquaculture! I’m Sarah Bennett, and I co-host the podcast with Michael Hayes. We’re excited to kick this off and bring you real, expert conversations about aquaculture nutrition, health, and production. 

In this episode, we talk about sorghum and its potential as a sustainable alternative to fish meal in aqua feeds. We break down its nutritional value, the digestibility challenges, and how techniques like fermentation and enzyme supplementation might help. There's also a look at how genetic modification could make sorghum even better suited for aquaculture. Tune in on your favorite platform to hear how this underused crop could play a big role in the future of sustainable aquaculture.

"Fermenting sorghum, particularly using fungal cultures, could significantly increase the protein content and also improve digestibility."
