Description
The striped or "tra" catfish (Pangasius hypophthamus also known as Pangasius sutchi) is a very hardy catfish species cultured widely in Asia. The fish achieves 1.5kg within a year (from 0.5g) and is very tolerant of poor water quality and low dissolved oxygen levels (is a facultative air breather, so no aeration necessary). It is happy eating a wide range of food and is often raised on manures or waste feedstuffs. The flesh of the fish tends to be tinged with yellow and is high in lipid. Flesh quality can be controlled to a large extent by using selected feeds and low protein feed has been shown to reduced fat content and increase the shelf life of the meat.
