Live specimens have been confiscated by authorities in Alabama, California, Florida, Texas, Virginia, and Washington where possession of live snakeheads is illegal."-USGS.GOV ]]> 2020-08-05 13:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jpressoir508/7qo965lktf2k3c4v/wish/670098896 What is the Government Doing about the Bullseye Snakehead Fish Population? jpressoir508 https://padlet.com/jpressoir508/7qo965lktf2k3c4v/wish/670118373 " In 2002, the FWS added the snakehead family of fish (Channidae) to the list of injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act.

By taking this action, snakehead fish can no longer be imported into the U.S. or be transported across state lines without a permit."(USGS.GOV)]]> 2020-08-05 13:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jpressoir508/7qo965lktf2k3c4v/wish/670118373 Diet jpressoir508 https://padlet.com/jpressoir508/7qo965lktf2k3c4v/wish/670125558 Small Fish
