from the tarpaulin to the work bench within the dose container facilitates rapid and accurate ti trati ons by skilled practi ti oners. There are a number of these containers out on Scotti sh and Shetland vessels.
During the period from June to early last
month, Mario and Pietro worked on sites owned by three large Scotland and Shetland customers who were using the 10-point water sampler. They monitored 72 cage treatments and ti trated 1,768 sample points at 0, 6 and 12 minutes aft er the prescribed Paramove dose was added. Stati sti cal analysis of their data sets is current- ly being undertaken and the fi ndings will be presented to industry at the Pharmaq confer- ence being held in Inverness in early November. Additi onal research opportuniti es will become self-evident both during the presentati on and in the subsequent discussion among veterinarians and fi sh health biologists. The placement of any student within the mod- ern Scotti sh salmon farming industry requires

thorough preparati on to ensure all aspects are sati sfactorily and safely addressed prior to the commencement of fi eld studies. All the parti es involved in this project experienced a signifi cant amount of learning, and the SSPO is acti vely helping to ensure that our lessons are passed to other bodies interested in similar work place- ments with SSPO members. This is very ti mely, since the Scotti sh Aqua- culture Innovati on Centre (SAIC) - a welcome initi ati ve to promote industry and scienti fi c interacti on within Scotland - has recently gained full funding for 25 new taught Masters places in aquaculture and marine engineering within Scotland. These Masters courses, at the univer- siti es of Sti rling and Dundee, will focus on indus- try relevant knowledge and skills under the SAIC Scholars Connect Plus programme. By providing business focused training
to aquaculture students in Scotland, these placements help to develop the industry and also boost graduates’ employment prospects. Developing young people throughout the supply chain is also key to our industry’s future success. Every supplier needs to deliver value to
remain in business and for our team of young local technicians in Oban it was very heartening to hear a major customer’s purchasing manager declare how impressed he was with the value engineering he had witnessed during his visit in late July. Such encouragement provides an incenti ve to any supply partner to conti nue with innovati ve design and to pursue new develop- ments. FF
