handle fish harvesting waste
Dispose of waste, blood and inferior quality fish according to site waste management procedures.
handle harvested fish
Handle harvested fish in a manner which maintains flesh quality. Effectively store fish in chilled storage.
harvest aquatic resources
Grade fish, molluscs, crustaceans manually and using equipment in preparation for harvesting. Harvest shellfish for human consumption. Harvest live fish for live transport. Harvest all species in a humane manner. Handle harvested fish in a manner which maintains flesh quality.
identity aquaculture species
Identity major European farmed fish, shellfish and crustacean species.
maintain fish harvesting equipment
Clean and store fish harvesting equipment after use.
measure water flow
Measure water flow, water intakes and catchments.
measure water quality parameters
Quality assure water by taking into consideration various elements, such as temperature.
monitor fish mortality rates
Monitor fish mortalities and assess possible causes.
operate fish capture equipment
Operate fish capture equipment, for grading, sampling or harvesting purposes.
perform fish grading operations
Gather live fish using techniques which minimise the stress caused to fish and avoid fish escapes occurring. Grade them manually or using equipment. Report on the grading operation, ensuring compliance with specifications.
screen live fish deformities
Examine live fish, including larvae, to detect deformities related to body shape, jaw deformity, vertebral deformity and skeletal deformity. If not detected, these could lead to risks for fish, such as swimming performance, feed efficiency, limit of the feed, infectious disease and lethality.
