Fisherman Caught Fish Valuable for Its Swimbladder.

This Chinese fisherman captured a giant yellow croaker or the Chinese bahaba, a valuable fish as its swimbladder:

The Chinese bahaba or giant yellow croaker is well known for its valuable swimbladder. A swimbladder has a market price of 30 to 40 thousand yuan per 100 grams, even more expensive than gold.

The Chinese bahaba is the largest a fisherman has ever captured in the area. It has been valued at around 70 thousand yuan (about US$8,974), said the report.
