Harvesting Profit$

Seafood Innovations training course are held in Dover , Tasmania.

These three days of intensive training have been designed specifically for any line supervisors or harvest managers responsible for optimising the harvesting process. Other individuals with an interest in efficiency, flesh quality and welfare issues will also benefit from this course.

The focus of the “harvesting profits” course is on real commercial examples of how getting it right (or wrong) has significant impacts on the bottom line of the harvesting operation. The SI base in Dover is ideally situated close to the latest state-of-the-art harvest facilities, allowing course participants the opportunity to see theory put into practice and to discuss the systems with operators.

For any company using a percussive stunning harvesting system (or those intending to purchase one) this is an opportunity to have an individual learn valuable skills which will return years of benefit at the harvest face. Efficiency, quality and welfare can all be maximised when staff understand the harvesting process and the interaction between fish behaviour and the equipment. Resultant improvements in profit could pay for the cost of the course in a number of weeks.

These courses are limited and intensive, covering background theory and technology while incorporating actual “hands on” harvesting operations, equipment servicing and maintenance.
