👉 Cod engineering refers to the application of advanced genetic and molecular techniques to modify or enhance the traits of codfish (Gadus morhua), primarily for aquaculture purposes. This field involves the use of genetic engineering methods, such as gene editing with CRISPR-Cas9, to introduce desirable characteristics like faster growth rates, improved disease resistance, and better adaptation to environmental conditions. By precisely altering specific genes, scientists can develop codfish strains that are more resilient, efficient, and sustainable in aquaculture settings, ultimately contributing to increased productivity and economic viability for the industry while minimizing ecological impacts.
