Are snakehead fish a dangerous invasive species in the USA? Invasive species, whether they are animals, fish or plants, are causing a huge problem around the world. An invasive species can cause huge disruptions to fragile, local ecosystems, as they often have no natural predators in their new habitat, take over territory and food sources required by indigenous animals for survival and sometimes even destroy terrain.
In October 2002 they were added to the list of injurious species by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which prevented the transporting of snakeheads between states and banned the importation of all twenty eight species into the USA. It is illegal to possess snakehead fish in thirteen states, but not in Maryland, the District of Columbia or Virginia. It is, however, an offence to release foreign species of fish into Marylandâs waterways.
