Abstract

Processed fish air bladder or swim bladder are highly priced for edible purposes as well as medicinal value in many countries of Southeast Asia. In addition, they are widely used for preparing isinglass which finds application in industrial processes such as wine and beer breweries and preparation of cosmetics. Over the last few decades, global demand for swim bladders has increased exponentially which are sourced from countries with a fairly good production of fishes that are most sought-after for their swim bladders. Croakers are the most preferred and highly priced groups in the swim bladder trade, while several other fishes have also been added to the list in recent years.
