Fishing Snake Head Fish at Palm Oil estate at Ayer Tawar on 28th Jun 2012 (Thursday time from 4pm-7pm) with SiewYK. The snakeheads are members of the freshwater perciform fish family Channidae, native to Africa and Asia. These elongated, predatory fish are distinguished by a long dorsal fin, large mouth and shiny teeth. They breathe air with gills as well as the suprabranchial organs developing when they grow older, which is a primitive form of a labyrinth organ. The two extant genera are Channa in Asia and Parachanna in Africa, consisting of 30-35 species.
