Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Barbodes hemictenus (a fish, 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.

Barbodes hemictenus is a small cyprinid fish native to the Philippines. It has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. Very little is known about its biology. B. hemictenus has not been reported as introduced outside its native range, so impacts of introduction are unknown. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses to the contiguous United States, so the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
