1 Share of the aquaculture production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture husbandry 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 production manager role treats 21 of its required skills as things a aquaculture husbandry manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

animal welfare legislation
aquaculture production planning software
biosecurity
control aquatic production environment
develop stock health programmes
ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety

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

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held husbandry and harvesting effects on aquatic resources agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held develop stock health programmes management skills
already held manage aquatic resources stock production handling and moving
already held monitor the use of resources in production information skills
already held plan aquatic resources feeding regimes handling and moving
already held escapee contingency plans agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 22 carried skills, including the 21 the aquaculture production manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 41 missing skills fall into 9 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.

Note

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.
