Hemibarbus labeo is a cyprinid fish native to East Asia, where it is valuable for commercial and sport fishing. The only recorded introduction of H. labeo occurred in Laos, but no literature is available on impacts of that introduction. The species appears to be capable of long-distance spread through interconnected waterways. The climate match analysis resulted in a medium match for the contiguous United States. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
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.
