Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Acestrorhynchus abbreviatus - Uncertain Risk

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.

Acestrohynchus abbreviatus is a freshwater fish native to northern South America. 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. Climate match with the contiguous United States is low. Overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
