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.
The history of invasiveness for Monocirrhus polyacanthus is not documented. One record of an introduction was found. Xiong et al. (2015) lists this species as introduced to China but no information was available beyond that list. Minimal information was available in general about Monocirrhus polyacanthus. The climate match was low. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
