Bladder or white campion is dioecious and most of the plants in this area of Kelly Canyon, Gallatin County, Montana, produced staminate flowers. Pistillate flowers with a swollen calyx accommodating the seed capsule inside were produced by relatively few individuals.

In some Asian cultures, fish maw of certain large sea fishes is considered a food delicacy. It is usually served braised or in stews. Fish maws are also used in the food industry as a source of collagen. Fish maw can also be made into a strong, water-resistant glue. Fish swim bladders are also used to make isinglass for the clarification of beer.
