WASHINGTON, Ala. (AP) — The U.S. International Trade Commission has upheld an order against dumping of certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam, a move described by an Alabama congressman as a victory for catfish farmers.

The commission voted unanimously Monday to continue the trade protections. In May, Davis led a bipartisan coalition in support of the antidupming rules.
Mississippi and Alabama are the country's top catfish producers.
