Background. The northern snakehead fish (Channa argus) has been identified as an invasive aquatic fish across the country. Snakehead fish got their name because of their long, cylindrical body plan and large scales on their head that give them a snake-like appearance.
As per Executive Order 13112 an invasive species is defined as a species that is: 1) non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and. 2) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. Invasive species can be plants, animals, and other organisms (e.g., microbes). Human actions are the primary means of invasive species introductions.
