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 kuchingensis is a small freshwater cyprinid native to Indonesia and Malaysia. No introductions of this species outside of its native range have been documented. B. kuchingensis has a climate match that is uniformly very low across the entire contiguous United States. Due to a lack of information from which to base an assessment of risk, the certainty of this assessment is low, and the overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
