This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to position the fishing operation to locate concentrations of fish and fishing environments. It includes the ability to use electronic aids and sources of information to position the vessel and locate fishing grounds.

The unit applies to individuals who have responsibilities for locating suitable environments for fishing operations.

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, according to state/territory health and safety, biosecurity and environmental regulations, legislation and standards that apply to the workplace.

Licencing and regulatory requirements apply to this unit. Users are required to check with the relevant maritime authority for requirements.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
