No. Swai is a type of catfish, and catfish are not a kosher species of fish.
Basa fish, just like all other forms of catfish, is not kosher.
Cream Dory is a species of catfish and is NOT kosher.
Sawfish, also know as Carpenter Shark, are a family of rays. These fish are not kosher as they do not meet the two requirements of kosher fish: movable fins and easily removed scales.

Like a catfish
There are certain "swimming" fishes that are kosher, such as salmon, tuna, yellowtail, tilapia, sole, halibut, flounder, etc. However, some fishes and all non-fishes are not kosher, such as catfish, shark, shrimp, lobster, mussels, langostines, squid, octopus, etc.
No. Krill is not kosher. The criteria for kashrut in aquatic species is that they must have fins and scales. Krill are related to shrimp, and have segmented outer shells known as exoskeletons. Most fish with scales are kosher.
There are many fish in the catfish family, but here is a list of selected common species; Blue catfish-Ictalurus Furcatatus, Channel catfish-Ictalurus Punctatus, White catfish-Ameiurus Catus, Flathead Catfish-Pylodictis Olivaris.
Ummm... pretty much all fish have scales! Dolphins and whales don't but they're mammals, not fish! While most fish do have scales, there are many that do not. The shorter list would be which fish do not have scales. Some examples of fish without scales are catfish, angler fish, and sharks. In order for a fish to be kosher, it must have fins and scales. If you search for a list of kosher fish, then all the kosher ones will have scales.
