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.

Aphanius anatoliae is a killifish native to Turkey. This species has a high climate match with the contiguous United States, with the locations of highest match occurring in the western U.S. No introductions of this species have been documented, and more information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses. Overall risk posed by A. anatoliae is uncertain.
