The snakehead captured on video was the first one he was pretty confident about. Bourgeois said they had received reports in the past which turned out to be the native Bowfin, also known as choupique. The sighting is the first confirmed report of a snakehead in Louisiana. Bourgeois said in the other states there has not been an impact on native fish so the department does not expect it to kill all of the bass but did say”We are concerned.” LDWF warned in 2020 that snakeheads could have the potential to devastate recreational and commercial fisheries. Millions of high-quality images, video, and music options are waiting for you. Low oxygen and shallow water, they can survive in water most things can not survive in.” This allows them to have babies in that habitat where they are protected. Fisheries management biologists with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) confirm a second northern snakehead has been recorded in the state.The fish was captured by an angler May 19 while seining for bait at Duck Creek Conservation Area in Wayne County.
They can live in marginal habitats with limited oxygen similar to garfish. “Unlike invasive carp, they are slower reproducing. They have shown to have a slow expansion in Arkansas,” Bourgeois said.
“Like most invasive species when they come here our predators won’t normally prey on them.
