quote from the site
The reason for promulgation of these emergency rules stems from the widespread recent reports of releases of piranha and other aquarium fish in various types of waterbodies throughout the state. If snakehead fishes (28 species in the family Channidae) are also being released into natural waterways by aquarium owners, severe environmental damage could result. Because of their tolerance to a wide range of environmental conditions, reproductive capability, and aggressive nature, it is crucial that immediate action be taken to protect aquatic resources from the potentially devastating effects of these invaders. Snakeheads have been released or escaped into the wild in California, Florida, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Rhode Island. These fish have been reported at aquarium shops in Indiana. To date, there have been no reports of snakeheads in public waters of Indiana.
