An invasive fish is generating concern in Missouri.

The state's Department of Conservation reported that the second northern snakehead was caught last month. The first encounter with a northern snakehead in Missouri occurred in 2019.

The fish is native to Asia and there's concern it could disrupt the ecosystem.

"They’re aggressive predators, preying on native species and competing for resources," the Missouri Department of Conservation said in a statement.

Wildlife experts reportedly searched the Duck Creek Conservation Area, where the latest fish was found, but were unable to locate any others. State officials believe there are more of the species in the area, but in very low numbers.
