Aquaculture harvesting manager to aquaculture harvesting technician
An aquaculture harvesting manager already meets 54% of what the aquaculture harvesting technician role asks for. The move turns on 17 required skills not yet in the profile.
59.7/ 100
1 How much of what an aquaculture harvesting technician is expected to do is already part of an aquaculture harvesting manager’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the aquaculture harvesting technician role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An aquaculture harvesting technician role treats 21 of its required skills as things an aquaculture harvesting manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- apply fish harvest methods
- biosecurity
- carry out fish disease prevention measures
- carry out preparations for fish disease specialist
- collect dead fish
- control aquatic production environment
What stands in the way is 17 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 30 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An aquaculture harvesting technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an aquaculture harvesting manager background worth leading with.
- already held prepare health certificates for fishery products information skills
- already held estimate harvest costs information skills
- already held maintain grading equipment constructing
- already held handle fish harvesting waste handling and moving
- already held maintain fish harvesting equipment constructing
- already held apply fish harvest methods handling and moving
All 30 carried skills, including the 21 the aquaculture harvesting technician role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 27 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
