“…A similar study was conducted in the MD by Nhan et al (2007). Many technical papers have been published on pangasius production in Vietnam, including: Cacot and Lazard (2004) who studied reproduction in captivity; Orban et al (2008) who analysed nutritional quality and safety aspects; and Men et al (2005) who studied genetic diversity and nutritional values. Figure 1 shows the rapid development of basa and tra farming, which was due to the expansion of markets and increased demand (Cuyvers and Binh 2008;Khoi 2009).…”

“…figure 3). Factors that contributed to the recent success of pangasius farming in the MD include (see also Khoi (2009) andBinh (2009)): i) the development of modern production and control systems ensuring that international standards for food safety and hygiene could be met (Orban et al 2008); ii) the specific characteristics of the fish species in terms of flavour, colour, and low cholesterol content, which ensured a high demand (Orban et al 2008); iii) low production costs, which allowed farmers to keep prices low (Rehbein 2008); and iv) improvements in the production chain, such as the introduction of the fingerling socialisation programme, which created a more reliable source of tra and basa fingerlings. Table 1 shows that Vietnamese exporters responded very quickly to the challenge of the Catfish War with the US and successfully entered new markets.…”

The Mekong Delta in Vietnam has become an important production area for pangasius. The importance of the sector in providing an income to many households means that it is relevant to study its economic production characteristics. In this article we use a stochastic cost frontier model to assess the adaptability of the sector. We are particularly interested in the effect of the changing market environment and the exponential growth of the sector on the evolution of production characteristics. We compare data from 2002 with 2006 data. The results show that pangasius farming became more efficient by 2006, with higher returns to scale. We discuss the possible policy implications of our findings.

“…Processing of Pangasius into frozen fillets has been widely practiced in India with great demand in international market. Delicate flavor and firm texture when cooked, absence of fishy odour, small bones and skin makes Pangasius fillet suitable for production of surimi and various mince based products (Orban et al 2008).…”

Influence of Button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) on quality and refrigerated storage stability of patties prepared from sutchi catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus)

et al. 2014

The ability of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) in changing physical, chemical, microbial and sensory properties of fish patties prepared from sutchi catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) was investigated. Two batches of fresh patties were prepared, one batch was treated with 15 % button mushroom (TP) and other batch was a control (CP) without mushroom. The patties were packed in polythene bags and stored under refrigerated condition (6±2ºC) without adding any preservatives for the estimation of storage stability. The analyses of patties were conducted at regular intervals of 3 days. The results showed that, Peroxide value, Thiobarbituric acid value, Free fatty acids increased significantly in CP at the end of 12 days whereas the TP was within the acceptable limit up to 16 days. Total volatile base nitrogen and Trimethylamine nitrogen also showed a similar trend. The Total plate count and Aerobic spore formers showed an increasing trend in CP when compared to TP. The sensory scores showed that the overall acceptability of CP were lower than TP, which was acceptable even after 16 days of storage.The present study showed that, the quality and storage stability of TP were observed to be in good condition up to 16 days and started deteriorating 20th day onwards, whereas the CP were acceptable only up to 12 days. Therefore it can be recommended that, addition of 15 % of button mushroom to sutchi catfish patty not only increases the nutritional quality but also increases the shelf life of patties under refrigerated storage.

“…One Dutch assessment found concentrations of a range of halogenated contaminants in pangasius to be lower than those in wild fish and trout and salmon farmed in the EU, with the latter species deemed responsible for (97%) human exposure to the sum of the contaminants investigated [35]. A separate Italian study reported the quality of samples analysed to be 'good', and well within the normal range found for fish sourced in Europe [36]. Other studies confirm the safe nature of exported frozen pangasius fillets from Vietnam [e.g.…”

Whitefish wars: Pangasius, politics and consumer confusion in Europe

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Rapid growth in production of the farmed Vietnamese whitefish pangasius and its trade with the European Union has provoked criticism of the fish's environmental, social and safety credentials by actors including WWF and Members of the European Parliament and associated negative media coverage. This paper reviews the range of claims communicated about pangasius (identified as a form of mass mediated risk governance), in light of scientific evidence and analysis of data from the EU's Rapid Alert System for Food and Feeds food safety notification system for imported seafood. This analysis shows pangasius is to be generally safe, environmentally benign, and beneficial for actors along the international value chains that characterise the trade. The case is made that increasingly politicised debates in Europe around risk and uncertainty are potentially counterproductive for EU seafood security and European aquaculture industry, and that the trade in pangasius can contribute to sustainable seafood consumption in a number of ways. Transparent evidence-based assessment and systems for communicating complex issues of risk for products such as pangasius are required in order to support continuance of fair and mutually beneficial trade. . This trade, originally based on wild fish but increasingly including those of farmed origin, has recently attracted considerable media attention, much of which has been negative. In particular, 2010 saw both continued increases in imports of a key farmed species, pangasius, to the EU of and a spike in critical media coverage of the trade.
