Short term aquaculture position - Egypt
Megapesca is a Portuguese fisheries consultancy. We have an ongoing contract delivering a credit programme for the aquaculture sector in Egypt. We are seeking a consultant for a series of short inputs (3 or 4 visits) over the next 6 months (max 50 days inputs). The main duty is to advise the owner of a demonstration marine fish farm (pond culture, bass, bream and croaker) on establishing water quality and feed management systems. Detailed Terms of Reference are below. The work should start as soon as possible.
Please send email applications and fee requirements directly to Megapesca (address below), with CV. Attachments are fine, since we work in the real world (and we know its not sterile). You will have to demonstrate a strong background in marine aquaculture, water quality management, and development. Middle East experience is a real plus. We can only accept applications from EU ciitizens
And, if anyone else does apply, I promise not to be rude. It just won't do you any good.
Cheers
Ian Goulding
