Within an aquaculture facility, these professionals are in charge of carrying out tasks related with the proper development of animal and vegetal farms (fish, molluscs and/or crustaceans, seaweeds) and manage their planning, production, collection and commercialization. They also plan, organise and oversee facilities, machinery, finances and staff. In short, these professionals coordinate farm resources in order to achieve the required quality of the product and comply with Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety standards.

They may deal with the whole cycle, from reproduction, monitoring young fish, fattening and finishing, or may be specialised in a part of the process.
