520			_a"In the summer of 2002 and again in late spring 2004, one of the Asian species, the northern snakehead, generated national media attention when anglers caught this fish in a pond in Maryland and, more recently, in the Potomac River in Maryland and Virginia. Fisheries scientists consider snakeheads to be invasive species because they have the potential to threaten native fishes, the recreational fishing industry, and aquatic ecosystems." (U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY) This article describes snakeheads and explains why they are becoming a problem to native species in Maryland and Virginia.
