water, with temperatures between 21 a 30 degrees Celsius. The local fish species found are Bocachico, Dorada,
Picuda, Sardinata, Capable, and Tilapia Nicuro.
The farm has been in operation since 1987, raises Tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus) and operates over 2.8 hectares. The nearest town is Hobo-Huila.
La represa de Betania fue construída en 1981 y está localizada al Sur-oeste del Departamento del Huila, es
llenada y mantenida por las aguas del Río Magdalena y Yaguará, la represa tiene un área aproximada de
7,400 hectáreas de espejo de agua, con temperaturas entre 21 a 30 grados Celsius. Las especies de peces
locales encontradas son Bocachico, Dorada, Picuda, Sardinata, Capable, y la Tilapia Nicuro. La finca ha
estado en operación desde 1987, cría Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) y opera en 2.8 hectáreas. La ciudad
más cercana es Hobo-Huila.
Fingerlings are purchased from Piscicola Penjamo and self-supply by hatchery installment on earthen ponds, on the
other hand, Master Freight International S.A.S. and Airseatrans S.A. are the companies taking the processed product
from Bogota to Miami, US. Piscicola Penjamo takes fingerlings up to the production facilities located at Betania dam
near Neiva in Department of Huila. Fingerlings are placed into 160 square meters cages where they are left to gain a
weight up to 20 grams over a period of 2 months; next, fish are transferred to a 400 square meter cage where they
reach a weight of 1,000 grams over a 7 months period. The total yearly production at C.I. Piscicola Botero is 2.6 Tons.
Los alevinos son comprados de la Piscícola Pénjamo y auto-abastecidos por una instalación con piscinas
de tierra, por otro lado, Master Freight International S.A.S. y Airseatrans S.A. son las compañías que
llevan el producto procesado desde Bogotá a Miami, US. Piscícola Pénjamo lleva los alevinos hasta las
instalaciones productivas localizadas en la represa de Betania cerca de Neiva en el Departamento del
Huila. Los alevinos son colocados en jaulones flotantes de 160 metros cuadrados donde son mantenidos
hasta ganar un peso mayor a 20 gramos por un período mayor a 2 meses; lo siguiente, los peces son
transferidos a un jaulón de 400 metros cuadrados donde alcanzan un peso de 1,000 gramos por un
período mayor a 7 meses. La producción anual en la C.I. Piscícola Botero es de 2.6 toneladas.
C.I. Piscicola Botero has a ferry and a harvesting truck which can handle up to 3.500 kilos per trip. Live fish is then
delivered to the processing plant where fillets are carved, packed and loaded into a refrigerated truck to maintain the
required temperature so the product can endure the 7 hours trip to the International airport in Bogota where the
product is dispatched by plane.
C.I. Piscícola Botero cuenta con un ferry y un camión para cosecha los cuales transportan más de 3,500
kilos por viaje. Peces vivos son, por lo tanto, repartidos a la sala de proceso donde los filetes son

Root Cause: First,
chlorophyll a was
measured each
trimester due to lack
of proper equipment
to measure and the
external lab was very
expensive. Salinity
was not measured due
to the presumption,
salinity is equalled to
0 on continental
waters

-Clorofila A es todavía medida cada 3
meses por un laboratorio externo.
- Salinity has not been measured at all.
-Salinidad no ha sido medido del todo.
- DO has not been recorded also as
%saturation.
-OD no ha sido registrado tampoco como
% saturación.
- turbidity, ammonia, phophates are not
sampled from a 1m column of water
(chlorophyll a sampling was not witnessed)
-Turbidez, amoniaco, fosfatos no son
muestreados a una columna de agua de
1 m (el muestreo de clorofila a no fue
presenciado)
- GPS is not used to verify the sampling
locations each time the sampling is
performed. The only method used is visual
alignment with 1-2 points in the surrounding
land.
-GPS no es utilizado para verificar las
localidades de muestreo cada vez que el
muestreo es realizado. El único método
utilizado es alineación visual con 1-2
puntos en los alrededores.
All other parameters are measured at the
correct frequency.
Todos los demás parámetros son
medidos a la frecuencia correcta.
Additionally, monthly data are not analyzed
so it is difficult to extrapolate the normal
value range.
Adicionalmente, el muestreo mensual no
es analizado de tal forma que es difícil
extrapolar los valores en el rango
normal.

la clorofila a se
media
trimestralmente por
que no se contaba
con el equipo para
medirlo y el
laboratorio externo
era muy costoso. La
salinidad no se
media porque se
deducía que era 0

continentales.
Corrective Action:
- GPS coordinates
were calculated once
more and the exact
place was marked
with buoys in order
not to make mistakes
on the measurements
Acción correctiva:
- Se calcularon
