Emersion and Terrestrial Locomotion of the Northern Snakehead (Channa argus) on Multiple Substrates. [PDF]
SynopsisMost fishes known for terrestrial locomotion are small and/or elongate. Northern snakeheads (Channa argus) are large, air-breathing piscivores anecdotally known for terrestrial behaviors. Our goals were to determine their environmental motivations for emersion, describe their terrestrial kinematics for fish 3.0–70.0 cm and compare kinematics ...

Molecular evidence of two colour morphs of northern snakehead (Channa argus) based on mitochondrial 12S rRNA [PDF]
As an unclassified species, white-type Channa argus has existed for many years. In the present study, the relationships and genetic diversity in two colour morphs of northern snakehead were determined by the analysis of mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene, as ...

MRAP2 Interaction with Melanocortin-4 Receptor in SnakeHead (Channa argus)
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) plays an important role in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. Melanocortin-2 receptor accessory protein 2 (MRAP2) modulates trafficking, ligand binding, and signaling of MC4R.
