Species that are considered uncertain risk need a more in-depth assessment beyond the Risk Summary to better define the species’ risk to U.S. environments.

Acanthogobius luridus is a fish native to China and South Korea. It has not been reported as introduced outside of its natural range. Data on impacts of introductions are lacking. Absence of this information makes the certainty of this assessment low. The climate match with the contiguous United States is medium. However, source locations for climate matching were approximated from occurrences verbally described by GBIF Secretariat (2017) because no georeferenced occurrences were available. Therefore, the climate match is an approximation. Overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
