Lesson 3 - Laboratory and Processing

content

In this lesson the learner will simulate the work of a laboratory technician in the aquaculture industry. They will use numeracy skills to calculate standard measures of fish health, and quantify plankton levels in a water sample. They will also experience working as a fish processing operative and complete tasks in several factory scenarios.
