Pangasius Fish Seed (Pangasius hypophthalmus)

Pangasius (Pangasius hypophthalmus), also known as Vietnamese Catfish or Basa, is a fast-growing, high-yield freshwater fish ideal for intensive aquaculture. It is one of the most profitable commercial fish farming species in India due to its rapid weight gain, low maintenance, and white boneless meat preferred in urban and export markets.

Shazam Farms offers healthy Pangasius fish seed from disease-free hatcheries. These fingerlings are ideal for tank, pond, or cage culture and perform best under managed feeding and aeration. With strong demand from restaurants, processing plants, and bulk buyers, Pangasius offers quick turnover and high market value.
