Genomics: How DNA Sequencing Will Transform Fish Health
What if the next major leap in aquaculture doesn’t come from the ocean but from the genome? In this week’s episode, we trace the story of genomic sequencing: from Darwin’s first evolutionary trees to the breakthroughs that now let scientists map entire fish genomes in a single day. You’ll learn how falling sequencing costs are opening the door to disease tracing, genetic selection, and smarter breeding programs that could redefine sustainability across aquaculture.

AI Pilots 95% Failure Rate: What MIT’s New Report Teaches Aquaculture
What does it really mean when headlines say “95% of AI pilots fail”? In this episode, we unpack MIT’s State of AI in Business 2025 report, looking past the hype to see why so many initiatives stall—and where the real success stories are happening. From the GenAI Divide to lessons on internal vs. external builds, and from ROI in back-office operations to parallels with past tech revolutions like the PC and internet, we’ll explore what this all means for seafood and aquaculture companies considering AI.

The Prisoner’s Dilemma of Salmon Farming
What does sea lice management have in common with one of the most famous problems in game theory? In this episode, we look at why rising lice levels in Norway reflect the dynamics of the Prisoner’s Dilemma—where individual short-term choices can create long-term harm for the entire industry. We’ll break down the latest data on lice pressure, explain why fragmented treatments are driving reinfestation risk, and explore how coordinated action, better models, and shared incentives can turn the tide.
