From the Ichthypundit

washingtonpost.com: At Last, U.S. Hopes, Snakehead Is History

The government has issued a new regulation banning live snakeheads. (Note: The story refers to the fish as the "dreaded predator") I suppose you could still raise them, if there's no law in your state, but importing them is prohibited, as is transfer across state lines.

Representatives of the National Fish Association blasted the regulation, saying it was unfair to all the law-abiding snakehead owners out there to punish them for the actions of a few. Well, no, not really. But there is a rush to import as many snakeheads as possible before the ban is in place. Next, I expect snakeasies to pop up, and for bootfinners to make fortunes bringing in snakeheads from Canada and Mexico.
