They should be 'killed immediately’.
Yeah, you might not want this crawling out of a lake towards you An invasive, air-breathing fish with the head of a snake has been spotted slithering around Missouri. Northern snakeheads go by many names: ‘Frankenfish’, ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’ and ‘something from a bad horror movie’. And for good reason. Among their almost mutant abilities, snakeheads can live for days on dry land, thrive in filthy water and are razor-toothed alpha hunters that can casually destroy ecosystems.
The warning to fishers from the MDC was clear: If you catch this fish, do not release it. They’ll eat anything they can fit into their mouth ‘Kill the fish by severing the head, gutting it, or placing it in a sealed plastic bag,’ the department stresses. Missouri officials believe the snakeheads are swimming – and slithering – in from Arkansas, where the aggressive species has been wreaking havoc since 2008. Most fish can’t spend more than a few moments out of the water.
