Certified Aquaculture Technician UNIVGA

In the field of aquaculture, we define the activity as the controlled breeding of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks, or algae in natural or managed environments. This practice relies on scientific knowledge in biology, aquatic system management, and the environment, and is part of a sustainable production and food security approach.

The job prospects for aquaculture technicians are varied and rich in opportunities. They are involved in the daily management of farms, monitoring the life cycles of organisms, water quality control, and disease prevention. They can work for aquaculture companies, research centers, local authorities, or in the marketing and distribution of aquaculture products.

Job prospects in this sector are promising, particularly due to the rise of environmentally friendly practices and technological innovations that modernize production systems. The growing demand for quality seafood products and the challenges related to sustainability offer technicians a motivating career progression, as well as continuous adaptation to new methods and regulations.
