- Other qualified and available potential employees specifically seeking work in aquaculture or related sciences.

Q: Will my company's contact information be posted online?
A: No. The company / organisation name and contact information will be withheld from the job description. This is to prevent unsolicited calls from potential applicants.
Q: Will AquaTT contribute to the cost for hosting a student?
A: Aqua TT is unable to provide any support funding at this time. Some students have funding from their institute or via an outside grant, while others will need 100% support from the host company. Likely costs to be incurred by a company include: insurance, local travel, and subsistence. All costs are the responsibility of the host.
As a minimum AquaTT suggests the company provides the student with €650/month for living costs (this can be inclusive of grant, accommodation or food provided). This recommendation varies depending on the location and working conditions and should be viewed as a minimum recommended amount.
AquaTT does not support exploitation of students in any way. If students report problems in their post placement reporting, companies may be suspended from using the programme.
Q: Is registration for PISCES TT Jobs different from the general PISCES registration?
A: Yes. The PISCES TT Jobs site requires a separate username and password from the general PISCES website, www.piscestt.com
