Yes. Applying and being listed is free. AquaNetica takes a commission only when a client books and pays for your time through the platform.
Do I need professional indemnity insurance?

What qualifications do I need to be an aquaculture consultant?
There is no single required qualification. Most consultants hold a relevant degree in aquaculture, veterinary science, marine biology or engineering, plus several years of hands-on industry experience. We verify credentials and references before listing.
How do consultants in the network get paid?
Clients book and pay through AquaNetica. You receive your fee less the platform commission, which is set out in your consultant agreement before you're listed.
