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 manalak is a cyprinid fish endemic to Lake Lanao, Mindanao, Philippines. It was previously harvested as a food fish, although now it is considered possibly extinct. B. manalak has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. No introductions of this species have been reported, so impacts of introduction are unknown. Very little information is available about this species, and the current status of its population is unknown, so the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
