Packing

All striped catfish are exported at a size of 0.5g. They are twice the size of 1” tilapia and so the stocking density per box is reduced proportionately:

Destination	Total transport time (hours)	Fish packed per box
Thailand	6 to 10	1,800
Asia, close by	10 to 15	1,000
Asia, far	15 to 20	800
Middle East	15 to 20	800
Europe	25-35	600
Africa	30 – 45	400
U.S.A.	35 – 45	400

Nam Sai uses anesthetic to sedate striped catfish during transport, as, unlike tilapia, reducing temperature does not improve survival. Packing costs are charged at the same rate as for tilapia.
