Among the many marine species found here, one fish stands out — the Croaker fish, locally known as “Sawa”. What Makes the Croaker Fish Special? Scientifically known as Argyrosomus regius, the Croaker is a large, saltwater fish that can weigh between 30 to 35 kilograms and grow up to 1.5 meters in length.

Luck smiles on Balochistan’s fisherman The Million-Rupee Organ: Swim Bladder The swim bladder helps fish maintain buoyancy in water. In the case of the Croaker, this bladder is highly prized in international markets, particularly in countries like China and Japan. Why?
