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 lanaoensis is a small freshwater cyprinid fish native to Lake Lanao in the Philippines. This species is listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN, but is possibly extinct. No introductions of this species outside of its native range have been documented. B. lanaoensis has a low climate match with the 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.
