Chinese References

With help from colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we collected a number of Chinese references on northern snakehead and other snakehead species. Few Chinese references on northern snakehead had previously been translated, and we offer the translations of the articles listed below to other researchers (please contact us for copies). We were given only a subset of the existing Chinese references on northern snakehead, and of these we translated only those that were directly related to our research. Following the list of translated articles, we provide a list of untranslated articles in our database.
