It belongs to Silurus, and Paugusiushamiltoa, which belongs to Silurus, is a scaleless fish. It is a high-quality economic fish unique to the Mekong River Basin. In Vietnam, it is transliterated as "CABaSa", which means "three-fat fish", because this kind of fish accumulates three kinds of fat in its abdominal cavity during its growth, accounting for about 58% of its weight.

The fry can grow to 500-800g in one year, 1500-2000g in the second year, and the largest individual can reach 15kg.

The shape of Basha fish is very similar to that of white bone fish produced in the Pearl River system in China.

The main value of Basha fish:

Basha fish is tender, delicious and rich in vitamins, minerals (mainly calcium) and other nutrients. However, the water content of the edible part is extremely high, and the proportion of protein is low, so it lacks nutritional value.

As the cheapest fish sold in supermarkets in western countries, Basha fish can be eaten in many ways, but most of them refer to Asian recipes (Westerners rarely eat freshwater fish, especially farmed fish). Its main consumer groups are new immigrants from Asian countries. Because its fish itself has a strong earthy smell, steaming or stewing soup is not recommended. Basha fish in western supermarkets mostly appear in the form of frozen fillets (whole fish without scales and thorns).
