We all know the Delaware is a lost cause. How are the other major freshwater rivers in NJ?
Are there snakeheads in the Mullica, Hudson, Raritan, and Passaic?

I haven’t heard of or seen them anywhere in NJ other than the Delaware drainage in certain tidal areas. Not saying they aren’t elsewhere but I haven’t seen it reported. It’s funny they aren’t in any of the Delaware drainage rivers further south than northern Salem Co, from what I gather. I’ve never seen them where I am in the freshwater tidal areas of Cumberland. I guess they can’t tolerate the salt further down in the river/bay to move to other rivers. Which is fine.
