Aquatic Technicians are technical assistants for laboratory and field work, often working together with researchers.
Training is usually obtained at a University of Technology or via in-service training, although some university graduates also specialise as technicians.
Trained Technicians may be responsible for routine sampling programmes such as the monitoring of water quality or biological organisms in the field.
They may also be responsible for laboratory analysis of samples and possibly for computerised data analysis.
