Keller, Marc Cadotte, and Glenn Sandiford Snakeheads in Maryland In the summer of 2002, an Asian fish that the US Secretary of the Inte- rior said was “like something from a bad horror movie” briefly became headline news all over America (US Fish and Wildlife Service 2002). The “fish from hell” (Fig. 1–1) generated hundreds of news stories, ranging from analysis on PBS’s “NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” to satire by Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. David Letterman featured it on one of his Top Ten lists (Dolin 2002). The snakehead invasion, and the way that it was reported by journalists, so captured the public imagination that it has been used as the inspiration for no fewer than three horror movies. The catalyst for this media frenzy was an 18-inch fish caught by an angler in a suburban pond twenty miles outside Washington, DC. The strange-looking fish had a mouthful of sharp teeth, and dorsal and anal fins running along most of its elongated body. It was soon identified as a north- ern snakehead (Channa argus). Native to rivers in China, the northern snakehead is a lie-in-wait predator that can surpass three feet in length.
