Subject: Snakehead fish
FYI -- Secretary of Interior Gale Norton will hold a news conference
tomorrow, July 23rd, to discuss a proposal to list 28 species of snakehead
fish as injurious species in the US. The listing of the species as
injurious under the Lacey Act effectively prohibits importation and
interstate transportation of the species unless a special permit is granted.
I will be at the news conference and will report back.
