Tra fish taken off WWF’s red list

Viet Nam’s tra fish (pangasius) has been removed from the WWF’s red list published by the WWF for Nature in Belgium and Norway, said deputy director of the Fisheries General Department Pham Anh Tuan.

Viet Nam and the World Wildlife Fund signed an agreement last December to remove the fish from the organisation’s red list.

The country expects to export 1.2-1.3 million tonnes of tra fish this year, worth US$1.45-1.55 billion.
