Pennsylvania fisheries biologists want to learn more about an invasive species that is confounding them but delighting many anglers in southeastern and south-central Pennsylvania.
The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is partnering with Penn State in a study of northern snakeheads, a non-native predator now in the lower reaches of the Delaware, Schuylkill and Susquehanna rivers, Redmond and Edgewood lakes, Octoraro Reservoir, and Conowingo Reservoir just over the state line in Maryland.
