Spanish term or phrase:despesques en esteros
This comes from a list of activities offered by a company involved in organising congresses, conventions and incentive outings for companies.
I have been told an "estero" in this context is like a fish farm, but I don't know what the activity involves or how we would refer to it in English.
Any help would be very much appreciated,
Many thanks,
Context: Eventos especiales tales como:
DESPESQUES EN ESTEROS, CAPEAS, MATANZAS DEL CERDO IBERICO, GOLF, HIPICA Y RUTAS A CABALLO, SAFARIS FOTOGRAFICOS, CASAS RURALES Y CORTIJOS EN LOS PUEBLOS BLANCOS DE LA SIERRA DE CADIZ,

Explanation: If it is like a fish farm, that suggests a body of water like a lake or a reservoir where fish are introduced periodically to give anglers a better chance of a catch. These are called "stocked waters".

Explanation: "Hasta hace no más de 30 años, el despesque de los esteros, acompañado de una degustación de pescado asado con plantas de las salinas, era un acto festivo con el que se agasajaba a los invitados del dueño de la salina para celebrar las cosechas de sal. Hoy día, en las salinas de acuicultura ha pasado a ser sólo una etapa más del proceso productivo, sin embargo, en las dedicadas al ecoturismo, nueva actividad de uso alternativo de las salinas, el despesque y la degustación de pescado constituyen el acto más esperado de excursiones, reuniones y congresos." http://www.icman.csic.es/divulg/divgDS_sp.htm
