Talking to reporters on the morning of March 21, Mr. Nguyen Van Duc, residing in Chua 1 hamlet, Nghi Thiet commune, Nghi Loc district (Nghe An) said that he recently caught a golden fish, weighing more than 5kg, suspected to be a golden croaker.
Previously, while fishing at the Cua Lo Border Control Station (in Nghi Thiet Commune - Nghi Loc), a large fish suddenly caught the bait, and he had a lot of difficulty getting it onto the boat. After bringing it ashore, some fishermen who came to see the fish all said that it could be a rare golden croaker. Currently, Duc is preserving the fish at home.

It is known that the golden croaker, with the scientific name Otolithoides biauritus, is mainly distributed in the seas of India, China, and Vietnam. This fish species has a very high economic value because its swim bladder is used as an easily soluble organic suture in medicine, so it is purchased at a very high price, up to hundreds of millions of dong./.
