Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Aequidens chimantanus (a cichlid, no common name) - 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.

Aequidens chimantanus is a freshwater fish native to South America. No introductions of this species have been reported. 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.
