Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Barbodes lindog (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 lindog is a small cyprinid endemic to Lake Lanao in the Philippines. In the Philippines, it is used as a food fish, but it has declined in proportion of total fish catch since the mid-twentieth century. This species has never been reported as introduced or established outside of Lake Lanao. B. lindog has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. Because there is no information on introductions of B. lindog outside of its native range from which to assess the invasive potential of this species, the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
