About

The croaker belongs to the drum family. It gets its name from the unique croaking sound it makes. The most important croaker species is the Atlantic croaker. The croaker first became a food fish in the 1960's. Although spiking at nearly 6.300 metric tons of production in the early 1980's, current production has decreased to 2,300 metric tons annually. The fish is relatively small and reaches weights of from 0.5 to 1 kg (1-2 lbs).
