Toothfish, Climate Genomics, and the Southern Ocean

Antarctic fish evolved for an ocean near freezing. Marine biologist Dr. Jilda Alicia Caccavo explores pelagic notothenioids, including commercially fished toothfish and the icefish known for colorless blood. Learn how antifreeze proteins and genomic traits support life in the Southern Ocean, how climate genomics reveals population vulnerability, and why changing ocean conditions should inform Antarctic fisheries management.Support our science communication by joining us on Patreon or sending us a gift on PayPalEpisode Guest: Dr. Jilda CaccavoLearn more about Dr. Jilda Caccavo on her website Find more of Dr. Jilda Caccavo’s work on Google ScholarListen to South Pole on Spotify or Apple PodcastsEpisode Transcript and more information on the Pine Forest Media websiteFollow Pine Forest Media on Instagram @pineforestmediaHosted, produced, and edited by Clark Marchese Cover art by Jomiro EmingTheme music by Nela RuizListen to Plastic Podcast on Spotify or Apple PodcastsListen to Something in the Water on Spotify or Apple PodcastsCeiSt4WDIdvmC1xmWwmUyY6BQrpw3kt731yhHroD Hosted on Acast.
