The basa fish, Pangasius bocourti, is a species of catfish in the family Pangasiidae. Basa are native to the Mekong and Chao Phraya basins in Indochina. These fish are important food fish with an international market. They are often labeled in North America and Australia as "basa fish", "swai", or "bocourti". In the UK all species of Pangasius may legally be described as river cobbler, basa, pangasius, panga, or any of these with the addition of "catfish". In Europe, these fish are commonly marketed as "pangasius" or "panga". Other related shark catfish may occasionally be incorrectly labeled as basa fish, including P. hypophthalmus (iridescent shark) and P. pangasius (yellowtail catfish). Some people without a general fish allergy are allergic, potentially even fatally, to pangasius and Nile tilapia. This video is targeted to blind users.
