Northern Snakehead Fish in Delaware

This taken from:

(just up stream from here)
Northern snakehead fish were documented in Becks Pond in August 2011 after an adult fish
protecting a school of fry struck at a kayaker.  Additional adults and schools of fry were
observed during subsequent electrofishing.  This fish can negatively affect the fish population
of Becks Pond.  It is considered an invasive species and should be removed and killed if
caught.  Contact the Division (302-739-9914) if you believe you have caught one and hold it for
retrieval.

It is illegal to transport, possess, purchase, or sell live northern snakehead fish in Delaware.

Remove and kill any northern snakehead fish if caught and contact the Division of Fish and
Wildlife (302-739-9914 or email: catherine.martin [at] state.de [dot] us ).
