Episode Synopsis


Lab grown fish could be a game changer here in Asia because our waters are becoming more and more overfished. And it turns out marine life in the ocean creates one of the largest carbon sinks on the planet. So losing fish species could disrupt the marine life food chain, putting this amazing ocean carbon sink at risk. But before we talk about lab grown fish as a climate change solution, we first have to understand the history of this overfishing problem in Asia and the importance of fish delicacies to the food culture here.The episode was produced in partnership with FairPlanet - a global non-profit social enterprise and solutions media organisation founded in 2014 in Berlin with over 200 specialised journalists and experts in 60 countries.Guests (in order of appearance): Stan Shea, National Geographic Explorer and Recipient of the Pew Fellowship, Bloom (HK)Tracy Fu, Hong KongDr. Kenneth Lee, Emeritus Professor, School of BioMedical Sciences, Chinese University of Hong KongCarrie Chan, CEO, Avant MeatsDr. Luxing Liu, Previous Director, School of Chinese Medicine, The University of Hong KongProduction credits:Executive Producer: Marcy Trent LongCo-Host and Producer: Chermaine LeeSound Engineer: EstimaAssociate Producers: Sam LiXiaoYu, Zack ChiangContributing Editor: Jill BaxterIntro/outro music: Alex MauboussinSign up to find out when new Sustainable Asia seasons are launched
