1 Share of the aquaculture rearing technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture hatchery manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A aquaculture rearing technician role treats 16 of its required skills as things a aquaculture hatchery manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • aquaculture reproduction
  • assess feeding behaviour of larvae
  • biosecurity
  • control aquatic production environment
  • ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
  • feed broodstock

What stands in the way is 18 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture rearing technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture hatchery manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assess feeding behaviour of larvae information skills
  • already held induce spawning and fertilisation on aquaculture species handling and moving
  • already held maintain hatchery records information skills
  • already held maintain the production of juveniles at the nursery stage handling and moving
  • already held manage capture broodstock operations handling and moving
  • already held feed broodstock handling and moving

All 24 carried skills, including the 16 the aquaculture rearing technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
