Boesemania microlepis (Bleeker, 1858) is a species of fish in the Sciaenidae family, genus Boesemania.
Boesemania microlepis is a relatively small fish with extremely high economic value. They have a delicate body shape, growing up to 100 cm in length and weighing up to 18 kg. This small fish primarily inhabits brackish waters at river estuaries, preferring to feed on small hard-shelled shrimp and crabs. Boesemania microlepis is migratory and can live in various waters, commonly found in Asian regions such as the Mekong, Chao Phraya, and Bang Pakong rivers in Thailand.
Due to its delicious and tender flesh, it is a highly nutritious fish, especially its swim bladder which has extremely high nutritional value. However, due to overfishing, this fish species is currently in a near-threatened state. Wild varieties have become rare, and the size and quantity of spider fish maw available in the market are gradually decreasing.
Only a few collectors still possess pure wild spider fish maw, making each piece consumed one less. As a result, the price of spider fish maw continues to rise, with many buyers and collectors simply hoarding it.
Spider fish maw has a unique appearance; its cylindrical, unopened air bladder resembles a hammer (T-shape), its belly bulges like a "bubble," and its head has two round, protruding sides with 2 to 6 short "tentacles" of varying lengths. Its overall appearance resembles a spider, hence the name "spider fish maw."
Because spider fish maw has "tentacles" on its head, and Teochew people highly admire money fish maw (Bahaba taipingensis) which also has tentacles, spider fish maw is also known as "little money fish maw."

Fish Fish Maw Buyback Q&A
Q: What are the main factors determining fish Fish Maw Buyback prices?
A: The five main factors affecting the price are: variety ranking (from high to low: Money Maw, Spider Maw, White Flower Maw, general maw), age (years of storage), individual weight and size, appearance, and storage environment. Among these, variety and age are the most crucial pricing criteria.
Q: How is fish maw weight calculated?
A: The industry uses "taels" as the unit, where 1 tael = 37.5 grams. During buyback, a government-calibrated electronic scale is used for on-site calculation. A large wild maw piece typically weighs 2–5 taels, with extra-large rare items reaching over 10 taels.
Q: There's a white substance on the surface of the fish maw, does that mean it's spoiled?
A: Not necessarily. Aged fish maw naturally develops a layer of gelatinous or salt frost on its surface, which is a normal aging phenomenon and does not affect its value. However, if you see green or black spots, or powdery insect feces, it indicates mold or insect infestation, and you should contact an expert for appraisal as soon as possible.
Q: If the fish maw is broken or shattered, is it still valuable?
A: Yes, it is. Whole pieces are more valuable, but broken pieces still have a buyback value, calculated by weight. The unit price for broken pieces is typically 60–75% of that for whole pieces, which is still a considerable amount.
Q: How can I get an accurate quote?
A: Send photos of the front, back, and side of the fish maw to WhatsApp 69035182, placing a one-dollar coin for reference. A preliminary estimate will be provided within 30 minutes.
