"I am the aquarium manager at Seahorse World Pty Ltd,
Beauty Point, TAS. I am responsible for all aquarium related
issues including staffing, stock management and animal
husbandry. I also act as the administration officer for the
business handling all accounts, payroll and rostering related
duties. When I completed my course I felt that I had acquired a
balance of academic/research/scientific and practical industry
based knowledge, and I believe that this is essential in any
degree that is relevant in today’s professional environment. I
regularly recommend students pursue careers in aquaculture,
as they have an opportunity to directly impact upon the state of
wild fisheries and the environment by producing a cultured
product. I believe the more educated aquaculturalists there are
around, the better off the aquaculture industry will be."
