has not lost his passion ;)

Hello.
I subscribe to the Aquatic Information Listserve that is used for
information exchange by aquarists in public aquariums.
I was trying to identify a photo of a fish that was spotted in a large
fish market in Amsterdam. Only the front part of the fish is in the photo.
It looks a lot like a bowfin and a couple of aquarists identified it as such
but I didn't think bowfin had been introduced to Europe.
I was going a Google search and happened across a posting of fish for
export from the US. I was surprised at the content because I was under the
impression that paddlefish were commercially protected. I figured people on
your listserv should know.
The post:

Interested ?

I would appreciate any information on this and also if anyone knows if
bowfin are in Europe as life fish or are in the markets.
