Missouri conservation officials are issuing a warning - an invasive species of fish has been recorded in the state.

If seen, Missouri officials warn anglers and hobbyists to kill the northern snakehead on sight.
 

Fisheries management biologists with the Missouri Department of Conservation have confirmed a northern snakehead was captured by an angler on May 19 while seining for bait at the Duck Creek Conservation Area in southeast Missouri.
