Diet of The Invasive Northern Snakehead (Channa argus).

by Andrew Bucha

The Northern Snakehead, Channa argus, is native to parts of Asia and is severely impacting the aquatic biota of the lower Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. Diets of the Northern Snakehead provide specific information on predation, competition, threats to threatened and endangered species, and other environmental variables that are threatened. When publicized, results from these studies may educate the angling public on the dangers of moving and introducing this exotic species to other aquatic systems.
