Abstrakt: First authorized in the state of São Paulo (State Decree Nº 62.243 November 2016), striped catfish farming has been progressively allowed and encouraged in other states (Garcia et al. 2018). We therefore recommend that the farming of I P. hypophthalmus i should be prohibited in Brazil and that the laws and bills authorizing the farming of striped catfish be revoked and vetoed. Therefore, the increase in state authorizations for the farming of I P. hypophthalmus i , in addition to illegal farming that occurs in other states, can contribute to the spread of I P. hypophthalmus i throughout the country. Incentives for farming non-native fish species in public waters have regained strength in Brazil (Charvet et al. 2021), and some states strive to boost the aquaculture market with the non-native striped catfish I Pangasianodon hypophthalmus i (Sauvage 1878).
