The reason why the Telia fish was sold at such a high price is because of its rare and precious medicinal value. As per reports, the intestine of the rare Telia fish is sold at high prices because it is used to manufacture drugs. The membrane gets easily dissolved in water and that is why it is bought by multinational pharmaceutical companies.
