The Kansas City Star was very succinct in what fishermen should do if they catch a snakehead, stating “this fish is one you’re urged to kill on sight.”
“Unlike most fish, the northern snakehead can breathe air, which allows survival in poorly oxygenated water or out of water for several days if their skin stays moist,” the MDC stated. “They can also slither across land to return to water.
“Snakeheads are an invasive species native to Asia. They’re aggressive predators, preying on native species, and competing for resources. They should be killed on sight.”
