Fish, our long-lost relatives, have ruled the oceans for over 500 million years. They come in all different shapes and sizes and have been a major part of our diet since the dawn of humanity. However, globally, fisheries are in peril due to overfishing, habitat decline and changing seas. In this episode, we discuss how the farming of fish, a practice that began in China over 4,000 years ago, can reduce pressure on wild fish and provide a tasty and nutritious meal.
