Pangasianodon aquaculture is the fastest growing food producing sector of the world. Recent national production of Pangasianodon hypophthalmus in India accounts for 0.7 million tonnes at present. Being influenced by trade and markets, P. hypophthalmus has been introduced to many countries including India. There has been a steady increase in the production of P. hypophthalmus by small and marginal farmers of the country. However, concern has arisen about the long-term sustainability due to diseases and its negative impacts on socio-economic aspects and biodiversity. Unregulated culture of P. hypophthalmus has been causing concern to environmental safety and warranting a very cautious and regulated approach to its culture. The standards, protocols and guidelines have been developed to address the issues of sustainability of Pangasianodon catfish production.
巴沙鱼养殖是世界上增长最快的粮食生产部门。目前，印度近期的巴沙鱼产量为70万吨。受贸易和市场影响，巴沙鱼已被引入包括印度在内的许多国家。该国小农户和边际农户的巴沙鱼产量一直在稳步增长。然而，由于疾病及其对社会经济方面和生物多样性的负面影响，人们对其长期可持续性产生了担忧。巴沙鱼的无节制养殖一直引发对环境安全的关注，因此需要对其养殖采取非常谨慎和规范的方法。已制定标准、协议和指南来解决巴沙鱼养殖可持续性的问题。
