Salmon is the world's most popular fish — but that popularity has come at a high cost. California-based food tech startup Wildtype says it has a solution: creating sushi-grade salmon in a lab.
But that popularity has come at a high cost, and the population of wild North Atlantic salmon halved between 1983 and 2016. It's a symptom of a wider problem: nearly 90% of global marine fish stocks are depleted, overfished or fully exploited, according to United Nations research.
One company trying to produce fish more sustainably is Wildtype. The California-based startup is creating sushi-grade salmon by cultivating cells extracted from salmon eggs.
