Fish Harvest Management Training Programme
The programme outlined below provides in-depth training in management of the entire salmon harvest process right up to the stage of gutting. The programme focusses on management and maintenance of SI~5 automated fish harvest systems including automated flow-through (SI~B) bleeding systems. While the main focus of the training courses are centered on farmed salmon, the same principles apply equally to other species - and wild fisheries - such as yellowtail (Seriola spp.), cod (Gadus morhua), halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), barramundi (Lates calcarifer), etc.
Contact Seafood Innovations International Group Pty Ltd. if your organisation is interested in attending a training course- details below.
Note: The courses can be tailored to your organisation's specific needs, including timing and location, if required.
There will be two courses held in southern Tasmania each year, subject to demand. The Tasmanian courses have a practical component and are held over 2 days. Certification of attendance is provided at the completion of the course.
There may also be one-day courses run in other countries at different times, and these will be posted on the website
Trainers have many years of first-hand experience in harvesting salmon and other fish species, as well as scientific and marketing backgrounds in flesh quality and welfare aspects of the fish slaughter process.
