where did the northern snakehead originate
The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is a type of snakehead fish native to China, Russia, North Korea, and South Korea.In Europe, the first report of the species was from Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) in 1956.In the United States, the fish is considered to be a highly invasive species.n 2008, the northern snakehead was found in drainage ditches in Arkansas, as a result of a commercial fish-farming accident. Recent flooding may have allowed the species to spread into the nearby White River, which would allow an eventual population of the fish in the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers.
