A Pulasa fish weighing 1.3 kg was sold for Rs.27,000 in Yanam, a region of the Union Territory of Puducherry, after being caught in the Godavari river.
Known as the ‘king of fish’, Pulasa is popular among people in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for its distinctive taste. The fish is also traditionally believed to have medicinal and health benefits.

He subsequently sold it for Rs.27,000, making a profit of Rs.1,000.
Around seven Pulasa fish have been caught in the Godavari over the past 10 days, with their prices ranging from Rs.14,000 to Rs.22,000. Sellers said the Rs.27,000 fetched by the fish yesterday was the highest price recorded for a Pulasa fish this
