Fishermen had a 'field day' with catches of large amounts of Lisetas (mullet)
Pescadores hicieron su agosto
Con recale de gran cantidad de lisetas
Lanrry PARRAISLA MUJERES, 5 de octubre.-
Local fishermen caught about a ton and a half of these fish, which are captured in the months of September and October. Large schools of these fish have been seen in the Isla Mujeres Bay and off the eastern side of the island, but they were not captured because the market is already saturated.
They are characterized by a dark back and silver belly, and are about 50 centimeters long. They are a fast growing fish which reaches about a kilogram in about eight months of fattening. These fish are only available to eat once or twice a year in each home, and then island families wait to eat them again next year.

Controversy at new hospital
Genera polémica el nuevo hospital . [+] Ver mas
There are differing opinions on whether the swamp which is located 10 meters from the new hospital should be filled in, and no final decision has been made. An unnamed official, who is close to the committee evaluating this issue, said they are in favor of a scientific study to see the advantages and disadvantages to the environment, before a decision is made.
Federal officials recently arrived to oversee the preparations for the official opening and ribbon cutting for the facility. The hospital has been operational for several weeks with good results, but there are still some specialties lacking.
