TO GO WITH AFP STORY: USA-ENVIRONMENT-FISH
This US Department of Agriculture handout photo received 05 October 2004, shows the northern snakehead fish. Recently,the non-native airbreathing freshwater fish has generated national media attention as the latest invasive species to threaten native fish and wildlife resources and the economic sectors that depend on them. In scientific terms, snakeheads are divided into two distinct genera: Channa (snakeheads of Asia, Malaysia and Indonesia), and Parachanna (African snakeheads). Snakeheads are a diverse family of fish native to parts of China, Russia, and Korea. The Northern Snakehead, Channa Argus, is part of this family that has recently been in the news in the Eastern United States. AFP PHOTO/US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
