Farmed versus wild. Basement shrimp hustles. Mangrove drama. Anthropology. Animal welfare and plant-based diets. Climb aboard to meet UCSB’s super cool dude, researcher and Aquaculture Ecologist, Dr. Ben Halpern. You’ll hear about sustainable food sources, land vs. sea farming, bycatch, shellfish guilt, salmon who wear makeup, global marine populations, ditching iceberg for seaweed, and a gentle nudge toward vegetables. Progress over perfection; every little step counts.Visit the <a href="https://halpernlab.bren.ucsb.edu/" target="_blank">Halpern Lab</a> and browse Dr. Halpern’s publications on <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Benjamin-Halpern-3" target="_blank">ResearchGate</a>A donation went to the <a href="https://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/" target="_blank">National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS)</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/aquacultureecology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/macrophycology">Macrophycology (SEAWEED)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oceanology">Oceanology (OCEANS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/pectinidology">Pectinidology (SCALLOPS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ichthyology">Ichthyology (FISHES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/carcinology">Carcinology (CRABS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/entomophagy-anthropology">Entomophagy Anthropology (EATING BUGS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/echinology">Echinology (SEA URCHINS & SAND DOLLARS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ursinology">Ursinology (BEARS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/chickenology">Chickenology (HENS & ROOSTERS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/roadecology">Road Ecology (ROAD KILL)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/agnotologyencore">Agnotology (WILLFUL IGNORANCE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/castorology">Castorology (BEAVERS),</a> <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/indigenouscuisinology">Indigenous Cuisinology (NATIVE COOKING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/blackamericanmagirology">Black American Magirology (FOOD, RACE & CULTURE)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" target="_blank">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" target="_blank">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" target="_blank">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" target="_blank">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" target="_blank">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" target="_blank">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" target="_blank">Kelly R.
