>The final rule adding the entire Channidae family of snakehead fishes (28
>currently recognized species) to the list of injurious wildlife species
>will be published in the Federal Register tomorrow. Due to the highly
>predatory nature of snakeheads and the increase in importations in recent
>weeks, this rule is effective upon publication. Therefore, effective
>Friday, October 4, 2002, the importation and interstate transportation of
>snakeheads will be prohibited.
