English to Spanish: Fish Farm in Central Plateau Breaks Ground General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: International Org/Dev/Coop
Source text - English Nine acres of carefully selected land in Haiti’s Central Plateau will become the new home for 25,000 baby tilapia, or “fingerlings,” in early 2014 as the XXX launches a commercial fish farm that will create jobs and improve nutrition in this rural region.
It was late October 2013 in Savanne Perdue, a neighborhood of La Hoye near the larger city of Lascahobas and the Dominican border when about 65 people, including representatives of six branches of the XXX, gathered on the site to break ground. The property was selected for its geographical diversity and includes a large lake, and both flat and hilly areas conducive to the variety of agricultural endeavors planned for the site, according to XX, national director for the XXX.
The farm will launch with four basins that generate fingerlings. After growing to a weight of several ounces, the fingerlings will be transferred to 10 cages that will float in the lake. When the fish mature to full size in six months, they will be about 1.5 pounds and ready for sale.
When fully operational, the farm will create five full-time jobs and dozens of seasonal jobs as the tilapia are harvested and sell for up to $2.20 per pound. Assuming an 85 percent survival rate, the catch is estimated to pump more than $200,000 into the local economy annually. In 2015, a goat breeding center will be added to the site to expand commercial opportunities in the community.
Translation - Spanish A principios de 2014, 3,6 hectáreas de tierras cuidadosamente seleccionadas en la meseta central de Haití se convertirán en el nuevo hogar de 25.000 crías de tilapia, o "alevines", cuando la XXX ponga en marcha un criadero comercial de peces, que generará empleo y mejorará la nutrición de las comunidades de esa región rural.
La ceremonia de colocación de la primera piedra tuvo lugar a finales de octubre de 2013 en Savanne Perdue, un barrio de La Hoye, ciudad cercana a Lascahobas y la frontera con la República Dominicana, y contó con la presencia de unas 65 personas, incluidos los representantes de seis ramas de la XXX. El terreno, que incluye un gran lago y zonas de llanura y sierras propicias para la variedad de actividades agrícolas previstas para el lugar, fue seleccionado por su diversidad geográfica, según indicó XX, directora nacional de la XXX.
El criadero comenzará a funcionar con 4 estanques para la cría de alevines y 10 jaulas flotantes ubicadas en el lago, donde serán trasladados los alevines una vez que alcancen un peso de varios gramos. Los peces estarán listos para la venta en seis meses, cuando hayan alcanzado un tamaño apropiado y un peso de alrededor de 700 gramos.
Cuando el criadero se encuentre en pleno funcionamiento, se crearán cinco puestos de trabajo de tiempo completo y decenas de puestos de trabajo estacionales para la cosecha de las tilapias y su venta por un valor de hasta $4,85 por kilo. Asumiendo una tasa de supervivencia del 85%, se estima que la pesca verterá más de $200.000 al año en la economía local. En el 2015, se añadirá un criadero de cabras para ampliar las oportunidades comerciales de la comunidad.
