About this episode

Marine biologist Marah J. Hardt explores the unique reproductive behaviors of sea creatures and the impact of human actions on their sex lives.

Take a deep dive with marine biologist Marah J. Hardt to discover what exactly goes down under the sea -- and why your own wellness depends on the healthy sex lives of fish.
