Encyclopedic overview
Capture (blue) and aquaculture (green) production of Striped snakehead (Channa striata) in thousand tonnes from 1950 to 2022, as reported by the FAO Channa striata, the striped snakehead, is a species of snakehead fish. It is also known as the common snakehead, chevron snakehead, or snakehead murrel and generally referred simply as mudfish. It is native to South and Southeast Asia, and has been introduced to some Pacific Islands. Reports from Madagascar and Hawaii are misidentifications of C. maculata.
A genetic study published in 2017 indicates that C. striata is a species complex.
