The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is a species of snakehead fish native to temperate East Asia, in China, Russia, North Korea, and South Korea. Their natural range goes from the Amur River watershed in Siberia and Manchuria down to Hainan.[3] It is an important food fish and one of the most cultivated in its native region, with an estimated 500 tons produced every year in China and Korea alone.[4] Due to this, the northern snakehead has been exported throughout the world and has managed to establish non-native populations in Central Asia and North America.
