Growth, Diet Composition and Reproductive Biology of the Invasive Freshwater Fish Chevron snakehead on a Subtropical Island.

The Chevron snakehead () has been invading Taiwan for over 30 years, and it is currently widely distributed across diverse aquatic habitats within the island. Due to its strong environmental adaptability and carnivorous diet, has caused great negative impacts to the biodiversity of native fishes and aquatic organisms in Taiwan. To effectively restrain its spatial distribution and population, the objective of this study was to investigate the growing conditions, diet composition, and reproductive biology of in the field.
