1 Share of the aquaculture husbandry manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the water-based aquaculture technician 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 husbandry manager role treats 10 of its required skills as things a water-based aquaculture technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • animal welfare legislation
  • aquaculture production planning software
  • assess cage water quality
  • calculate aquatic resources growth rate
  • control aquatic production environment
  • ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety

What stands in the way is 29 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture husbandry manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a water-based aquaculture technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held calculate aquatic resources growth rate information skills
  • already held aquaculture production planning software agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held rates of growth assessment agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held assess cage water quality information skills
  • already held fish grading agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held incidents and accidents recording services

All 15 carried skills, including the 10 the aquaculture husbandry manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 45 missing skills fall into 12 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.
