Managing fish isn’t just feeding and cleaning it’s about observing, recording, and responding to small changes that impact stock health. As an Aquaculture Assistant, you’ll work in a compact recirculating system, learning feeding schedules, water testing, and biosecurity routines while keeping tanks clean and healthy. Accuracy and consistency are key to keeping growth and survival rates on target.
Our client values careful, calm handlers who can spot issues early. You’ll track daily logs, measure growth, test water parameters like pH, ammonia, and dissolved oxygen, and escalate concerns when needed. Every observation and action contributes directly to the farm’s output and product quality.
Harvest days are team events, requiring careful handling, prompt chilling, and coordination to protect the fish’s quality. Daily routines also include managing mortalities safely, maintaining hygiene, and assisting with routine system checks to ensure biosecurity standards are met.
This role is ideal for someone patient, detail-oriented, and curious about aquaculture processes. Over time, you’ll develop practical skills in fish husbandry, system management, and farm operations, with a clear path from Attendant to Technician and eventually Aquaculture Supervisor.
Client estimates: pay varies with water testing confidence, weekend harvest flexibility, and ability to troubleshoot aeration quickly.
