Your right. Peru raised farmed salmon and it collapsed due to fish pen pollution etc. Salmon are not an indigenous species In Peru. Canada does And buries the health risk as its big export $$$$. You can't get near a fish pen on British Columbia's west coast to get a fish to analyze. So researchers watch for an eagle to grab a penned fish and test it. It's contaminated so they don't want it analyzed. However researchers watched eagles grabbing salmon from the pen. And found some eagles landed and tore off part of their catch and left the rest. They confirmed the salmon was in fact contaminated. Tested it against store bough fresh salmon and confirmed the contamination from more than 1 source in Pacific and Atlantic salmon. I think Sweden does the same and farmed salmon goes to the EU. Fishery minister was fired after bringing the tainted fish problem to light. As to the not being bottom feeders comment, this is a water quality problem from uneaten food and fish waste products in their pens causing or being the problem. Additionally manufactured fish food is part of the cause. I'd eat USA farmed catfish or tilapia but that would be occasional these days. Consume Nothing from Asia farmed or supposibly Wild Caught !

Why label the fish as Catfish in the USA when it's clearly not? Also, the report in not very conclusive on the safety of the the fish. Why not do some independent tests on the heavy metals, carcinogenic elements, and organoleptic pesticides contents too?

so this is CNA version of a CBC: marketplace. they tested multiple seafood in canada and confronted the restaurants that sold mis-labelled seafood as expensive counterparts. like they found multiple places replacing Lobster with langoustine... and when you tell customer Lobster, people think of the Boston Lobster. Search Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare where the restaurant owner sold Norway Lobster as Boston lobster.

Just test the imported fish products for unacceptable levels of pollution and carcinogens. Propaganda against Vietnamese fish farmers and industry is unacceptable and unfair.

I just discovered that Dory is what Malaysian call ikan patin. Wow, I hate Dory (usually processed fillets), cooked in western style cooking. Ikan patin are usually sold freshly caught and cooked in flavourful broth. My mind is blown now lol

(37:10)It was at least 20 yearsI heard about the use of a holepunch on Skate (wing flaps) to make a product sold as scallops.

TBH, I've known pangasius as Cream Dory long before I became familiar with John Dory. The latter is not a common fish where I'm from. The name really meant nothing to people here but the rather generic white fish that always came as boneless skinless fillets. There's nothing unhealthy about them, they're just not very interesting to eat, IMO. Compared to tilapia, the most common alternative here, pangasius tend to be mushy when cooked and quite bland. But if they're providing so much livelihood to a country like Vietnam, there's nothing wrong with that. Like the video said towards the end, the Vietnamese farmers aren't the ones mislabeling the fish, and its a problem with several other fish species that get mislabelled.

Shrimp has so much antibotic in them too. My mom still eats their import fish but she dont buy it as much as before. She forgot the fish in the car for a month and it never rotten.

when you guys easily die from bee stings, but we asians aren't! You don't need to compare because you and asian have different ways of life.

If you think pangasius is a hazard, you guys/girls should look at the norwegian salmon industry...

I saw the german documentary couple years ago, i did stop buying pangasius since then. Now i dont know what to believe

Issue like this was also raised during the 1990's in the Philippines 'copra'(coconut oil). that it contains harmful fungi, that is harmful to human health. But fungi per se are generally beneficial to humans. One those that are colored white or black are harmful to humans because these are the converters in the food chain. It breaks down the compounds into reusable elements. It turns out that the brouhaha was about selling the palm oil and soybean oil to the food manufacturers. Those food products using those oils tastes awful after a day. Those cannot really replace coconut oil in food production. If you want to know if the fish is beneficial or harmful just test it as soon as it arrive on your shores. Your countries may have that agency that does it. Rely on there findings. Do not rely on reporters and professors who are paid to do what their sponsors want!

the agencies are controlled by the money now too, can't trust them either

This is the same fish we find in rivers here, that people call "ikan patin". It's also grown here in cages in some of the larger rivers (on a much smaller scale than in Vietnam). You can find the fillets imported from Vietnam in the supermarkets, but all the best parts have been cut off (my theory is that the Vietnamese keep these parts for themselves, since they're the most delicious, and westerners wouldn't eat them). What are the best parts? When you buy the fresh fish from the market, the best parts are the fatty bits around the belly, right behind the head. It's sort of like how the fatty parts of the tuna and salmon (around the belly) are the most expensive cuts in sushi restaurants. If you go to Kuantan, they sell "ikan patin masak tempoyak" - you get slices of the whole fish, and the most popular slices are the head and the part right behind it.

It's almost everyday I'm disetting and filleting patin, I think it's different while patin is an oily/muddy fish, while sorry is less oily and bright white flesh fish, it's more flaky

It's the same species (or genus). The differences probably have to do with the environment and the feed, and also might have something to do with the preparation. I'm sure the Vietnamese remove the oily bits (which are the most delicious parts) since we don't get those when we buy dory fillets.

In the end, what is the verdict from this documentary?

AMAZING !!!!!!

Soon there won’t be enough fish left in the seas due to overfishing. Which countries have the largest fleets of factory ships, catching everything in their nets. Many to be thrown overboard, many also to be turn into... animal feed. Let’s not forget the tons of canned and frozen fish that will be disposed of when they can’t be sold come their expiry dates

Hello there! Catfish can grow very huge if you give them time and space. Catfish can grow bigger than the average person. Catfish are bottom feeders and scavengers. Om Mani Pad Me Hung! ETN....

im gonna admit it, Mekong river are cleaner than bigger river in Indonesia. We have a severe plastic issue and and industrial chemical waste..

My god told me not to eat catfish because it has no scales. Take the hint.

how can " Châu Đốc" 9:27 a small town in the north of Vietnam?

How disgusted am I feeling right now, to know, how cheap, people can be.

Glad, we always go to the wet market to buy fish here in the philippines. And our fish is almost all salt water fish

a documentary which lost its focus - pangasius's safety was left hanging as it moved on to talk about fish fraud???

When your poor you cannot aford to be choosey. So price and not quality is all you look at. When your family are starving so no it is dangerouse? ???

When you just realized that the hyped dory fish is just a catfish. We call them 'lele' in Indonesia, that could be bought for much much cheaper if grown locally...
