U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish are the Safe,
Green Choice, Environment Group Says

By comparison, p roduction methods of the catfish-like basa and tra, imported from Asia, "have improvements to make," EDF finds. Specifically, the group says:
"Basa and Tra are being imported in increasing quantities from Vietnam, Thailand and China, where there is little government regulation of farming operations."
