French term

ferme d'engraissement

French to English Other Other Aquaculture
Hi,

"Depuis, non seulement le contexte socioéconomique a évolué, rendant compétitives des techniques de production onéreuses à l'origine et non rentables, sous l'effet de la baisse des prix de vente des poissons produits et de la concurrence sévère des producteurs méditerranéens, l'aquaculture en Tunisie est passée par une période de stagnation totale jusqu'au moment de la mise en place de fermes d'engraissement du thon rouge en mer ouverte. "

fermes d'engraissement= would the appropriate term be "grow-out farms" or simply "fattening farms"?

Thank you

farm

In the context of fish farming, American English would refer to "farm-raised tuna", not "farm-fattened tuna."
