In this week’s episode, "Fish and the Agricultural Research Service," the crew interviews two fish biologists from the Agricultural Research Service, Dr. Bart Green and Dr. Brian Ott. Their jobs are to optimize the culturing of fish for human use for food fish and for raising bait. They conduct many research studies to accomplish this, which we chat about! They primarily focus on certain fish species including hybrid striped bass, tilapia and channel catfish. They also discuss their career trajectories and explain some of the amazing technologies employed in their field. Some of the ways they deal with oxygen and nitrogen levels are especially interesting!
This podcast is brought to you by the goldfish. Despite being named after a precious metal, most of these fish are not treated at all as prize precious possessions. Oftentimes they end up as carnival prizes or party favors, destined for doom at the hands of an inquisitive child. But sometimes, goldfish are the starter pet which brings about a life-long love of fish for someone. And for that, we thank you. Cheers to the goldfish, and remember, never release them into the wild.
