My key roles and responsibilities at Chicoa Fish Farm as Hatchery Co-Manager includes:

  • Manage the production of Nile tilapia fry in floating
    hapas, from broodstock selection, spawning, egg incubation, to post-larvae
    transfer into grow-out systems.
  • Conduct daily measurements of critical water
    parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, pH), and implement timely
    corrective actions to maintain optimal rearing conditions.
  • Develop stage-specific feeding protocols, monitor feed
    consumption, and calculate feed conversion ratio (FCR) based on bi-weekly
    biometric assessments.
  • Apply disease prevention protocols, supervise organ
    sampling for diagnostics, and coordinate emergency responses to health-related
    events in the hatchery.
  • Lead the hatchery team, assign daily tasks, monitor
    staff performance, and provide continuous technical training to ensure
    standardization and efficiency.
  • Maintain detailed records on hatchery performance
    (hatching rate, survival rate, stocking density), and produce weekly and
    monthly technical reports to support decision-making.

I am really looking forward to the COES-WIO training because it’s a great opportunity to deepen my understanding of ocean processes, marine pollution, and data management. I believe this knowledge will help me grow professionally and make a real difference for coastal sustainability in Mozambique.
