Invasive Fish

As though the introduction of the spotted lanternfly wasn’t enough, Pennsylvania may be facing another invasive species epidemic.  The northern snakehead, a fish more common in Asian countries, has recently been found in the Monongahela River.  Only one has been found so far, and the hope is that there aren’t any more.  The northern snakehead serves as a predator to many fish native to Pennsylvania.

    If only one has been found, does it threaten the wellbeing of other fish?

    That’s kinda scary. Is there a possibility of them being found in the Delaware?
