Aquaculture Worker

An Aquaculture Worker performs a range of tasks at an aquaculture facility. You might be involved with breeding fish stock or maintaining tanks and equipment. Aquaculture Workers monitor conditions such as water quality, pH levels and oxygen levels. You might harvest stock when required or get products ready for transport.

Aquaculture Workers should have strong attention to detail and be able to solve problems quickly. It’s important you can work as part of a team and communicate well with colleagues. Aquaculture Workers must be capable of physical tasks and may spend a lot of time outdoors. You’ll need to be organised and able to follow instructions closely.
