Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to identify marine fish and their behavioural and physical needs, and provide daily care requirements.
This unit applies to individuals working in the animal care industry where it may be necessary to care for marine fish. This may include aquariums, pet stores, zoos, animal technology facilities, catchers and distributors or similar workplaces. This unit applies to individuals who work under broad supervision and provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable problems.
Regulatory requirements apply to this unit but vary according to state/territory jurisdictions. Users must check with the relevant regulatory authority before delivery.
NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements.
