Spanish term

peces "sembrados"

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Environment & Ecology estudio ambiental
- Repoblar o “sembrar” especies de peces.

- Elaborar programa captura, marcado y recaptura de peces “sembrados”.

Están hablando de introducir especies de peces para repoblar la zona.
Para "sembrar peces" había pensando que tal vez podía usar "grow fish", pero cuando dicen "peces sembrados", si uso "grown fish" me parece que crea confusión.
También pensé en "cultivate/cultivated fish" aunque sé que se usa para plantas, pero como va entre comillas tal vez podría usarlo, aunque la verdad no me convence...

Gracias a todos por sus sugerencias :)

BdiL Feb 25, 2010:
I believe it has to do with comparing the growth of naturally reproducing (preexisting) fish and the evolution of "seed fish" (meaning fish released into the wild by man). And besides growth, tracking down change in the two groups making up the whole fish community. :) MAu

disagree Graham Allen-Rawlings : It looks to me that an implanted fish is one that's had something (i.e. a radio transmitter) implanted into it.

fish released into the wild

It's an option for this idea of re-populating species.

That's true, although I would imagine they need to farm/cultivate the fish before they are reintroduced into the population.

introduced

I think they are talking about the difference between repopulating and introducing new species to the environment.

HTH.

Sorry should be INTRODUCE. :)
Note from asker:
Hi Chris, you're right, and when they use "introducción de nuevas especies" in the text, I'm using "introduction of new species." Thanks!

introduced fish

I think this word is used both for new species introduced into an area and re-introduction of native species, so you may be able to do something with that.

Hi Gilla, thanks for the references! I also thought about introduction of fish, but in the text they use "introducción," "sembrar," and "repoblar," so I'm using "introduced fish/introduction of fish" for the first case

hatchery fish

or hatchery-raised fish

There are tons of fish hatcheries in my area. Fish are raised in hatcheries to be released into the wild.

Winton speculates that it may have originated in ballast water from ocean-going ships sailing into the Great Lakes, or that it may have hitchhiked in shipments of hatchery-raised fish.
http://www.fws.gov/fisheries/nfhs/VHS.htm


Hatchery fish support three-quarters of the local district gillnet fleet's salmon harvest income.
http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/022510/loc_567525897.sht...

Use hatchery fish to provide recreation in those waters where fish populations are inadequate to sustain the fishery at desired levels.
http://www.gov.ns.ca/Fish/sportfishing/home.shtml

The hatchery fish policy, "Endangered and Threatened Species: Proposed Policy on the Consideration of Hatchery-Origin Fish in Endangered Species Act Listing Determinations for Pacific Salmon and Steelhead," asks us to consider two primary questions that will have enormous implications for how the National Marine Fisheries Service chooses to consider and recover impacted wild or natural populations of species.
