Snakehead Fish in Burnaby?

[Gord]

Yikes. Just what we need is another invasive species. This guy sounds like it makes bass and bull frogs and their significant impacts to the environment small potatoes. This fish can survive and move on land too!!

Boy that is one nasty invasive species. In one of my university classes we did a lecture on invasive species but this species never came up. Had know idea it existed. Maybe a ban on live individuals could be put in place?

That is NOT good. Hope its just one fish.
