Gavin Chua

Objective

I am an aquaculture researcher passionate about building the future of sustainable seafood through Integrated Multi-Trophic
Aquaculture (IMTA). My work is rooted in the belief that the key to meeting global demand lies in low-trophic production. By
promoting and researching nutrient cycling and ecosystem synergy, we can transform aquaculture into a truly regenerative
industry.
