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.
Ancistomus snethlageae is a freshwater armored catfish native to the Tapajós River basin in northern Brazil. This species has not been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. Therefore, history of invasiveness is uncertain. It is in trade in the United States. A. snethlageae has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. Because little information is available about this species, the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
