Fisheries technicians often work on project management, production management or quality control in fish processing plants, fish sales companies or with regulators. The job can also entail the purchase of raw materials at fish markets and/or writing descriptions of raw materials for potential buyers.

In your job as a fisheries technician, you could work in collaboration with the owners and staff of fish processing and fishing companies, fish markets and fish shops, but also provide advice to companies in the fishing industry.
