Have your say on national skills standards for fishtech & aquabotics

Ten new units of competency and three new skill sets have been developed to support skills for working with new technologies in the aquaculture sector. They describe the skills required for using aquabotics, such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), underwater drones and biosensors, which are becoming more prominent throughout the industry.

Existing units have also been updated to reference skills requirements related to automation, technology, environment and biosecurity, where required.

Now is your chance to have your say on whether the units and skill sets match the needs of job roles and industry. It’s important these skills are accurately described, to support use of new technologies that are improving monitoring, welfare practices and biosecurity measures in the seafood and aquaculture industry.
