Snakehead fish
Channa sp. Maybe striata?
10.0667, 124.333
Field Notes
Description:
About 14" long. Flat-ish head. Long dorsal fin running almost to the tail.
Habitat:
My brother in law found it in the flooded rice field.
Notes:
At first my bro-in-law said "lungfish", and I took his word for it (not having seen either a lungfish or a snakehead before...). But now I see the pectoral fins on a lungfish are typically long and slender. This does not have that.
The local name for this is "mudfish" . Good eating, I've heard.
