Example) Tuna business

Divers are professionals who manage and work underwater, primarily farming tuna. Divers regularly check and maintain diving equipment, and conduct underwater inspections and maintenance to ensure the tuna breeding environment.

Specifically, I am responsible for the following tasks:
・How to feed and adjust the amount of feeding
・Tuna health management, disease prevention
・Maintenance of aquaculture nets
・Rearing and growth monitoring of juvenile tuna
・Safety management in diving work, planning and execution of accident prevention measures

Another important task is to collect environmental information such as sea temperature, water quality and tidal currents, analyze these data and reflect them in proper aquaculture management. Divers have become an integral part of tuna farming management.
By properly maintaining the tuna farming environment, divers can promote the farming of healthy tuna and contribute to the production of high-quality tuna.
