Production of pangasiid catfish in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam alone exceeded 1 million metric tons in 2008. While some of the food provided to these fish, especially at the larger commercial farms, is pelleted feed from commercial feed mills, many small farmers still use “trash fish” from the Mekong in preparing feed by hand at the farm. In Cambodia, catfish culture is still at the small-farm stage and trash fish comprise the basic feed for the industry (which is considerably smaller in Cambodia than in Vietnam).
