No wonder #eels are struggling! Study on impact of #climatechange shows: on top of shifting ocean currents, glass eels are affected by rising temperatures and acidity. The effect on migration and survival is compounded by other man-made challenges once elvers reach fresh water.

Experimenting with IBC aquaponics – this is our smallest system, built from intermediate bulk containers. We reconfigured the fish tank for easier solid waste removal 🙃. Our littlest #eels are moving in soon and then we can put… https://t.co/335FldhZrS

Our Modular Aquaponics project has been featured by the @UKGBC, as an innovative example of how to adapt buildings to a changing climate! @FishBristol @LettUsGrow https://t.co/opErojhQMW

The Modular Aquaponics system answers the question of how food can be sustainably grown, with minimum use of land, close to its place of consumption, with a negative whole life #carbonfootprint, whilst enhancing biodiversity. https://t.co/opErojhQMW @FishBristol @LettUsGrow

The Modular Aquaponic system part of our R&D projects can be attached to host buildings, providing food for its surrounding urban environment. https://t.co/opErojhQMW @FishBristol @LettUsGrow #sustainability #greenarchitecture #flanaganlawrence

@marmazad Thanks Marcio! Sorry we missed your question - we chose to use butyl rubber pond liner. (There is no such thing as 'food grade pond liner' obviously, but this type of material is deemed to be safe - it is also used in tanks for storing drinking water.)

Sneaked a moment in between farm jobs to appreciate the leaf shapes in our grow beds. Such diversity! Hard to believe these four all belong to the same species of plant (Brassica rapa). LRTB: purple frills, choi sum (I think?), mispoona, mizuna. #aquapon… https://t.co/Uc6hq8WCdM

Perks of being a farmer: access to beautiful, ultra-fresh veg. Grown with #eels! No fertilizer, no pesticides. Today we have: watercress, pak choi, lettuce, purple frills and mispoona. Which is your favourite? #aquaponics #bristol… https://t.co/3C8488hMo5

Spiders absolutely love it on our farm. This one is @silverandfire ‘s but I saw 2 of the same type last week. I think this type is making its way up from more southern Europe on this exceptionally warm year! #spider https://t.co/g7VgGCQy59
