Windsor Pet Store Fined $255 for Possessing For Sale Live Snakehead Fish

A Windsor pet store owner was recently fined $255 for possessing for sale two live snakehead fish. The fish were killed and donated to the Department of Natural History of the Royal Ontario Museum.



This was the first offence regarding live snakehead fish under an amendment to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act in 2004.



After the fish were seized October 27, they were frozen and forwarded to the Royal Ontario Museum for identification. One of the fish was most likely a Giant Snakehead, and the second specimen was either a Bullseye Snakehead or an Emperor Snakehead.



The regulation restricts the buying and selling of the following live invasive fish species:

● Four species of carp (bighead, grass, black, silver)

● 28 species of snakehead

● two species of goby (round and tubenose)


● the new regulation affects the purchase and sale of live fish in markets, restaurants and includes the prohibition on the buying and selling of live snakeheads for aquaria and of live grass carp for weed control in water gardens.

● A letter was sent in June, 2004 to over 800 business owners in the pet, aquaria and water garden industry informing them of the regulation changes.

● The Ministry of Natural Resources also issued a province-wide news release "Ontario Protects Great Lakes Against Invasive Fish Species" on May 6, 2004.

● MNR is currently working with the federal government to ban the live possession of these same fish through an amendment to the federal Fisheries Act.


The purchase or sale of live invasive fish in Ontario, and the possession and transport of these fish, causes public concern about the possible escape or release of species that could become established in Ontario waters. Harmful impacts to the aquatic ecosystem, to recreational and commercial fisheries, as well as high costs for control, can be the result of such invasions.
