\n<\/strong><\/p>\n Joe Pearce – FdSc Sports Fisheries and Aquaculture graduate<\/strong><\/p>\n Fish were always my passion and I chose Sparsholt because of its reputation and contacts within the industry. I heard about Sparsholt through fishing magazines and other angling press, and also went to an open day before starting.<\/p>\n The course was a good combination of practical and technical work. The main advantage of a course at Sparsholt is the work placement opportunities which allow you to develop practical skills. The support from the lecturers was also a great help.<\/p>\n I learned many different skills during the course. The most important would be the fish husbandry skills which I now use daily in the workplace. Data analysis has also been very useful, as well as being able to work in teams as well as solo.<\/p>\n The facilities at Sparsholt are excellent – they are very similar to ones used in the industry which is very helpful when starting a new job.<\/p>\n I am currently a farm operative for a large salmon farm in Scotland. I am based out on the sea cages and my duties involve the basic husbandry of salmon including feeding, water quality testing, removal of mortalities and wrasse husbandry.<\/p>\n Being a Sparsholt graduate helped me to achieve my ambitions as I felt prepared for a job in the industry. I developed a good range of skills and knowledge during the course.<\/p>\n Find out more about\u00a0FdSc Sports Fisheries and Aquaculture<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Joe Pearce – FdSc Sports Fisheries and Aquaculture graduate Fish were always my … Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2311,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"page-wide.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_mc_calendar":[],"footnotes":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
