LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. - [font "arial"]An alien species of catfish has been caught in the Delaware Raritan Canal, prompting fears among environmental officials that the voracious predator could devastate native catfish, sunfish and some sturgeon populations the way it has in southeastern states.

"The threat of the flathead is significant," Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bradley M. Campbell said in a statement Wednesday. "Anglers should report any catches or sightings of this fish to the Department."
In the southeast, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has listed the flathead as its highest priority among invasive animal species, the DEP reported.
Flatheads, which are normally found west of the Appalachian Mountains, can grow to up to 100 pounds. The fish's color ranges from a yellowish brown to dark brown, with black or brown spotting. It has a flat head and a tail that appears rounded or square. A key distinguishing feature is that its lower jaw projects past the upper jaw.
The fish was caught in Lambertville July 23, near the Delaware River. Flatheads are known to consume large amounts of shad during spawning season. [/font]
