A fisherman in the coastal town of
Jwani in Balochistan, bordering Iran, has caught a 26kg precious crocodile.
Rashid Rahimi, a fisherman from
Jeoni, caught a fish from the sea of Jeoni this week.
Crocker fish was bought by a trader
named Babonsim.
This is the third lucky fisherman of
Jivani this week who has caught a valuable fish crockery. Earlier this week, fishermen
from Jeoni caught two crockery fish that sold for more than Rs 8 million.
The fish weighed 48kg and 26kg and
were caught by Nakhoda Abdul Waheed and fisherman Abdul Haq.
Inspector Abdul Khaliq of the
Fisheries Department stationed in Jwani area of Gwadar had told Urdu News
that a local trader had bid Rs 48 lakh for 48 kg fish at Rs 180,000 per kg.
What caused the high price of fish?
Crocker fish is called 'Kar' in the
local Balochi language and 'Sawa' in Urdu.
Ahmed Nadeem, Deputy Director, Gwadar
Fisheries Department, had earlier told Urdu News that the price of crockery
meat is Rs. 200 to Rs. 300 per kg like normal fishThis air bladder is in great
demand in China, Singapore, Hong Kong and many European countries.
According to Ahmad Nadeem, air
bladder is used in medicine, food and threads used in surgery. It is also used
to increase physical and sexual strength and to strengthen bones. The thread
made from this bladder does not have to be removed after the operation and it
is absorbed in the human body.
However, Moazzam Ali Khan, an aquatic
biologist and technical advisor to WWF Pakistan, says the fish bladder is used
in specialty soups in China, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Talking to Urdu News, he said that he
had drunk this soup twice but there was nothing special about it. Ordinary
people in our country may not like to drink it, but this luxurious food used to
increase physical strength is a status symbol for Chinese princes. They are
willing to pay the highest price for crockery fish soup in expensive hotels.
