Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology research leans on aquaculture for the preservation of valuable germline stem cells
Aquaculture’s primary goal is to produce fish, but its methods can be used to save them too. Aquaculture is an often-ignored tool for the conservation of endangered species, a practice known as conservation aquaculture. Today, a number of fish species – like Nile perch and the totoaba, both prized for their swim bladders – face extinction due to overfishing, illegal harvests and climate change.
