Just to be the pedant that I am, I'm sure everybody already knows this but...

Potentially Dangerous Fish
The possession or release of live, potentially dangerous fish is prohibited. These species include
Asian swamp eel, bighead, grass (diploid) and
silver carp, brook stickleback, green sunfish,
flathead catfish, oriental weatherfish, snakehead
and warmouth. Anglers MUST destroy these
species if encountered while fishing and are
directed to submit specimen(s) or photos to a
Fish and Wildlife Bureau of Freshwater Fisheries
biologist for verification. To reach a biologist, call
(908) 236-2118 for northJersey or (856) 629-4950
for south Jersey. These non-native species are
likely to cause environmental harm to the state’s
fisheries resources by outcompeting preferred
game fish species.
