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!

Instructions to Assessors

Required Skills and Knowledge

An individual demonstrating competency must satisfy all of the elements and performance criteria in this unit.

There must be evidence that the individual has developed, on at least one occasion, a stock production plan for an aquaculture organisation, including:

accurately determining labour, equipment and other requirements for each stage of stock production operation

detailing implementation of the plan, including security arrangements and environmental controls.

An individual must be able to demonstrate the knowledge required to perform the tasks outlined in the elements and performance criteria of this unit. This includes knowledge of:

key biological and physical requirements of stock impacting on production planning

requirements and costs of disease surveillance and health management protocols

key requirements of legislation, biosecurity regulations and codes of practice impacting on aquaculture stock production

mechanisation or automation research

cycles and stages of stock production

characteristics of stock health

stock husbandry and management techniques relevant to stock production

requirements of stock nutrition or feeding, including costs

benefits and limitations of options for use of specialised contract services

impact of a production plan on the organisation’s finances and profitability.
