Fish maws (dried swim bladders) have long been used for medicinal tonics and as a valuable food resource in Southeast Asia. However, it is difficult to identify the original species of fish maws sold in markets due to a lack of taxonomic characteristics. In the present study, 37 kinds of commercial...
