1 Share of the aquaculture hatchery technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries adviser 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 hatchery technician role treats 5 of its required skills as things a fisheries adviser already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • fish biology
  • interpret scientific data to assess water quality
  • monitor fish health status
  • monitor hatchery production
  • plankton production

What stands in the way is 25 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture hatchery technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries adviser background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor hatchery production handling and moving
  • already held plankton production natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held interpret scientific data to assess water quality information skills
  • already held monitor fish health status information skills
  • already held fisheries management agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held fish biology natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the aquaculture hatchery technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 40 missing skills fall into 11 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.

6 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
