re: Northern Snakehead fish found in Concordia Parish

When I use to peruse monsterfishkeepers.com I learned a bit about snakeheads. In their native areas, snakeheads are a delicacy. They do act and look similar to choupique with some species can be mistaken for choupique. Of the 30 some odd species, 2 or 3 can survive in North America, the Northern and the Giant can perhaps one other. Regardless all species are banned under the Lacey Act.

It's an interesting fish for sure but they do have a voracious appetite and will compete with native species.
