élevage de truites
Bonjour à tous,
The growth in the trout market and the necessity for a larger production volume resulted in the construction a second farm between 2013 and 2014 in XXX, in the southern region of Costa Rica (3,000 m{1}2{1} above the water surface), which increases the availability of ponds for the growing stage of trout.
Merci de votre aide

d'altitude
"above the water surface" dans ce cas-là fait référence à l'altitude, puisqu'on prend comme référence 0 altitude pour la surface de l'eau (la mer). Il me semblerait bien donc que la meilleure traduction serait "à 3000 m d'altitude", sachant que la pêche de la truite au Costa Rica a souvent lieu dans les Andes... !

: As Asker points out, the figure given is in fact in m², rather precluding the possibility of an altitude — unless, of course, we assume a source-text error?

I assumed a source text error, as m2 does not make sens. Also, I checked on the net, trout fishing in Costa Rica is exactly about this altitude... So...

: this is written from the viewpoint of people investing in fish farms - what is going to bring money to them? the altitude above sea level (why should they care?) or the size of the pond (m2 of water surface) (=more fish = more money)?

Because more ponds=more money and altitude helps: in the southern region of Costa Rica "(3,000 m{1}2{1} above the water surface), which increases the availability of ponds for the growing stage of trout." There are more ponds in the mountains.

Je pense qu'il s'agit de l'altitude.

above-the-water surface
superficie au-dessus de (la surface de) l'eau
Yet another of thos cases where 2 hyphens would have made such a difference to the comprehension.
I don't profess to understand what this actually implies, but i'm pretty sure about what it says — presumably they measure the size of their fish farm in terms of the area above (or surely rather 'at'?) the surface of the water; I suppose this might change soemthing if the pools had steeply-shelving bottoms, for example...
I suppose it is also conceivable (though i fail to see the relevance!) that thyey are actually using the language imprecisely, and what they really mean is 'ground area, not counting the area of the ponds'; but I can't really see why such a figure would be in any way useful.
