Currenly, Tra is the most popular species due to a higher yield and better dressing percentage compared to Basa.<\/p>\n<p>Cages being one of the systems used in Pangasius culture vary in size from 100\u20131500 m<sup>3<\/sup> and are sited on major river tributaries of the Mekong River delta.<\/p>\n<p>The density of cages in a given body of water depends on the strength of water current. The same is true in regard to the stocking density of fish that typically ranges from 100-150 specimens\/m<sup>3<\/sup>. Early feeding practices used to depend on on-farm made feeds using variety of ingredients such as trash fish, rice bran, and broken rice, which were then cooked to produce the feed. With the scaling-up of cage farming that coped with growing safety concerns, there has been an increasing trend towards the use of commercial pellets; the video shows a feed storage. The yield is of about 100-120 kg\/m<sup>3<\/sup>\/crop is probably a realistic estimate. Usually, the entire cage is harvested at a single time to meet the large volume requirements of processing plants. There are few hundreds of industrial- scale processing plants. Most of which, are certified for export and\/or ISO certified.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fZ4jcHiLF1w\" width=\"425\" height=\"350\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: www.fishconsult.org Video credit: Ahmed Shaheen (Egypt) Review: Abdel Rahman El Gamal (Founder of the website and video channel) &nbsp; Viet Nam is by far the world\u2019s largest producer of Pangasius with a production that exceeds \u00a01.2 million tons in 2013, with annual export turnover of at least US$ 2 billion. \u00a0Two Pangasius species are &hellip; <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/?p=12272\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[359,5376,291],"tags":[2741,1984,1988,5667,1224,5664,592,5666,103,2742,547,5665],"class_list":["post-12272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aquaculture-and-artisanal-fishery-global-information-sharing","category-cage-farming-farming-systems-and-practices","category-gallery-2","tag-basa","tag-cages","tag-feeding","tag-iso-certification","tag-pangasius","tag-pangasius-bocourti","tag-pangasius-hypophthalmus","tag-processing-plants","tag-stocking-density","tag-tra","tag-vietnam","tag-yield-by-m3","item-wrap"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1NIq6-3bW","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12272"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12273,"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12272\/revisions\/12273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fishconsult.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
