VANCOUVER/CKNW (AM980)

This may be the final day for an elusive snakehead fish in Burnaby's Central Park.

Biologists hope to catch and kill the foreign predator today.


In doing that, they'll also destroy everything else living in the pond.


Some people don't like it, but BCIT fish ecology professor Marvin Rosenau says there are no native species in that pond.
 
"And snakeheads are particularly virulent when it comes to an ecosystem perspective."

The pond has been partially drained to make the search for the snakehead easier.


The fish was first caputred on video May 13th.
