Our first-ever EAStalk webinar was held on Tuesday, September 3, 2019 at 14.00h (CEST).

Our presenter was Dr. Gavin Burnell, president of EAS at that time. Gavin gave an overview of the principles and practice of aquaponics and presented some of the ways in which this novel technology could be integrated into various aspects of aquaculture production and pedagogy.

After a lifetime of teaching and research in aquaculture and marine biology, Gavin is now retired but still actively involved in several EU and national projects. Nowadays his focus is on a holistic approach with a particular interest in the circular economy as a way of sustainable production. In addition to editing Aquaculture International, Gavin is the current President of the European Aquaculture Society and will host our 2020 conference in Cork.
