Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

DEFSUR001 - Catch aquatic animals in a survival situation

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare improvised fishing resources

  1. Assemble improvised tackle from natural resources and basic survival resources (i.e. wire, fish hooks and fishing line).
  2. Identify and prepare natural fishstunning agents.
  3. Bait tackle using locally acquired insects and animals appropriate to the type of aquatic animal being sought.

Conduct fishing operation

  1. Choose location and timing of fishing operation to optimise the chances of success.
  2. Apply basic fishing techniques to attract the desired aquatic animal to strike.
  3. Land hooked aquatic animals.
  4. Site and enhance tidal pools (includes making use of inlets, natural constrictions) to trap aquatic animals during tidal ranges.
  5. Handle, dispatch, gut and fillet captured aquatic animals, and remove undesirable/poisonous animals from catch.
  6. Examine guts to identify animals’ preferred diet with the aim of targeting particular species and reinvesting offal and offcuts in ongoing fishing operations.
  7. Implement techniques for maintaining aquatic animals in fresh condition until required for consumption.
