the Shallow and standing waters are not conducive to fish life, as such is usually not enough oxygen. East käärmeenpäistä however, they can very well.

These fish also has another unusual feature: they fare on dry land and are able even to move there for several days. Skill is developed, so that they are capable of holding up to kuivahtavan of the pond’s new wetland.

life on land successful gills located above the small bag, thanks. Lung-like organs, the main purpose is to pickle the surface get into the air for recovery, when the fish dive back to the little oxygen in the water.

Last year, the Biology Open journal (you move to another service) appeared on a chinese scientists told me more about this ability. Also last year the us genetic research Peer J in the journal (you move to another service) to tell a threatening alien species spreading in the united states.

Eat everything, what the mouth fits

This month revealed that east the snakehead has spread to the people through the use of the united states yet another state, Georgia.

eastern snake-heads have been brought to the united states for aquariums, fish markets and restaurants, but the wild upon reaching the alien species has become a threat to biodiversity.

East those snakeheads are ravenous beasts. Other fish are their favorite food, but all uses, crustaceans frogs. The country risk are the mouth are suitable for lizards, birds and mammals, although the actual stalker inside the head of the snake is not.

East those snakeheads are also quick to reproduce, thus exacerbating the threat to other animals. A single female can produce up to 50,000 eggs, and if the water temperature is favorable, the chicks hatch in the nest already a day or two.

the Parents take care of them in a month’s time, but the female is ready for a new litter in up to five times a year. Dangerous childhood age after all of the fish may live for eight years.

Snakeheads and other invasive species can also spread diseases and parasites against which the indigenous species is not tricks.

pet fish is rejected with nature

in This millennium has been detected in four different snake main in 15 states across the united states. The first was in California in 1997 caught from the east to the snakehead.

Just east of the snakehead is taken to effectively reproduce in the wild and splash around today, including the potomac river, along which is located in the Us capital Washington D. C.

the Accidental fish are not new vesiinsä loiskahtaneet, said the Us geological survey (go to another service). Fish have been released probably because that after maturity they have proved to be too aggressive home aquarium and the fishermen are hoping their new catch rate in the middle of the waters in the.

those snakeheads were defined in the united states in 2002 dangerous alien species. Live specimens imported into the country and transportation between the states was banned.

the Then interior minister of Gale Norton think those snakeheads were “like a bad horror movie”. They remain on the land to survive at least three days, and when moving forward they will eat virtually everything in their path with small animals, Norton justification for the ban (you move to another service).

Also in the European union has proposed snakeheads raising of the listing of such species, which are aquariums not acquire.

“franken fish”, “black lagoon monster guy”, “fish tanks”, “eväkäs rattlesnake”.

the American press the name of the east käärmeenpäistä

When Georgian fisherman told reporters in early October that they received my hook weird looking fish pond of Gwinnett service area, the authority calls for similar catches to the nappaavia was rude. “Kill it now!” I heard them their instructions (you move to another service).

the fisherman had photographed the creature and freed it, but decided then to contact biologiin.

– the first line of defense of our eastern snake-heads and other waters, alien species are fishermen. Rapid reporting allowed us to investigate the situation and found that the pond in this species, thank Matt Thomas Georgia, the state nature conservation agency.

from the Pond was caught one adult and three juvenile eastern snake heads. Another parent in the pond yet found, authorities speculate. The yacht will also continue the environmental wetlands in other individuals in the event. Those snakeheads are schooling fish.

in Georgia, catch the derived fish do genetic testing to determine whether they are of the same family. If kinship is confirmed, the species may not spread as ponds farther away.

those snakeheads get their name from the oval of form, snake like tattoos and especially big suomuistaan who receive litteähkön head to look snake-like.

“Fork would be the best gun”

the snake the main species of the ten. Their homes are Asian and African fresh waters, where they have their own balancing mission lakes, ponds and rivers in the ecosystem.

in Malaysia and parts of indonesia to live a snake of the main species, with preferred are very acidic waters, even almost as acidic as vinegar or lemon juice. In seawater those snakeheads are doing.

east snakehead is his family’s most widespread species. Inherent in the residential areas are mainly in China, where it also bred a lot.

those snakeheads are the traditional dishes there, where they have always been. For example, in Vietnam the snake heads are preserved as herring here. The west, too many cooks will appreciate the species of the solid, white meat, which is not on the grill or in a pan just shrink and also very suitable for soups.

Many experts are of the opinion that the best gun in the east snake the main problem is the fork, if the fish’s appearance and name taking appetite.
