AFP 2012-05-17 01:17:51 Florida Aims To Control Invasive Snakehead Fish Species
WESTON, FL - MAY 16: Jason Calvert, from JC's Custom Baits, prepares a lure as he attempts to catch snakehead fish while fishing in a canal on May 16, 2012 in Weston, Florida. The invasive snakehead fish is known for its aggressiveness and they're eating anything from bass to turtles and an occasional duckling. It is unknown exactly how the species, that is native to parts of Asia, was introduced to the South Florida area but it concerns people because the presence of an exotic species can alter the ecosystem to the detriment of native species. A healthy number of fisherman now go after the fish which helps control the species and puts what many fisherman say is a tasty fish on their plate. Joe Raedle/Getty Images/AFP
