Application

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to harvest cultured or held stock and transport to an on-farm or off-farm post-harvest facility. It does not include processing activities, such as gill-gutting, cleaning, filleting, cooking and shucking, the slaughter of livestock or off-facility live transport.

The unit applies to individuals who carry out routine harvesting tasks, including sorting and grading of stock, in an aquaculture setting under the direction of a supervisor.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety, food safety, biosecurity and environmental regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace. Licences may be required if operating load-shifting equipment, vehicles or vessels.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
