Snakehead - Upper Bush River

Type: Tidal
Region: Central
Location: Upper Bush River

I am reporting a snakehead caught in the upper Bush River. This fish was caught during a routine juvenile fish sampling done by the Anita C Leight Estuary Center. This sampling is done 6x per summer, twice in July, August and September and this is the first snakehead sighting we have had.

It was ~12� long and the location was 39�27�55.9 N, 76�14.57 W. The fish was killed and buried.
