This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare, pack and dispatch wild caught (fished), cultured or held seafood stock for live transport to other facilities. It includes the ability to prepare the packing container and equipment, prepare and handle livestock, use packaging material and complete post-dispatch tasks after dispatch. It does not include the transport of genetic material (unfertilised eggs, sperm, gonadal tissue and other tissue cultures).

This unit applies to individuals who undertake routine tasks in preparing, packing and dispatching seafood stock for live transport from fishing vessels, aquaculture, ornamental or live holdings 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.

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