This apprenticeship is designed to support the development of
apprentices working in aquaculture operative and junior technician roles in
either finfish or shellfish.

There are several aquaculture operative and junior technician roles
available e.g., marine, or freshwater operative/technician, yardperson,
harvest operatives, fish, or shellfish farm assistants. These roles cover
maintaining health and welfare of stock, maintaining facilities both on
shore and off-shore, using and maintaining equipment and maintaining
site health and safety and biosecurity.

These roles may also include operating a workboat or support craft, maintaining a hatchery, harvesting
stock and taking deliveries.

The goal of the apprenticeship is to enable apprentices to develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours to be able to
competently operate in operative and junior technician aquaculture production roles.
