Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Snakeheads are a family of freshwater fish native to Africa and Asia. These predatory fishes are distinguished by a long, sensual dorsal fin, small head with large head, large mouth and shiny teeth. They have a physiological need to breathe atmospheric air, which they do with a suprabranchial organ: a primitive form of a labyrinth organ. There are two extant genera, Channa in Asia, and Parachanna in Africa, consisting of 30-35 species.They are considered valuable food fish. Called Ca Loc in Vietnamese, it is prized in clay pot dishes and pickled preparations. Larger species like Channa striata, Channa maculata, and Parachanna obscura are farmed in aquaculture. Snakeheads feed on plankton, aquatic insects, and mollusks when small. When adult, they mostly feed on other fish like carp, or frogs. In rare cases, small mammals such as rats are taken. The size of the snakehead species differs greatly. "Dwarf snakeheads" like Channa gachua grow to 10 inches. Most snakeheads grow up to 2 or 3 feet. Only two species can reach a length of more than 1 meter and a weight of more than 6 kg.
