US authorities seize shipment of swim bladder from endangered fish valued at $2.7 million

US Customs and Border Protection officers in Arizona have seized 242 pounds of swim bladders – the organ that helps fish control their buoyancy – that came from the endangered Totoaba fish, authorities said.

Officers working at the Nogales Port of Entry in Santa Cruz County discovered 270 swim bladders hidden inside a commercial shipment of frozen fish fillets, CBP announced.

The swim bladders discovered on April 13 were valued at an estimated $2.7 million, according to a news release.
