That is a nice payday but are these types of fish scarce? Is that why the cost is so high?

@AKRao24 yeah I had heard salmon fish eggs costs 96 thousand Indian rupees.
Just a small cup of eggs.
Because of protein contents.

Wow, a good catch! Seems as this type of fish (ghol, black-spotted croaker) is considered as a medicinal source of many good minerals, salts and vitamins (eg, iron, magnesium, iodine, etc). whoa, the content of collagen in this type of fish also seems to help fighting aging and wrinkles... So cool! (I have to go fishing for one right now, before all got caught by others 
.)
