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 manguaoensis is a small freshwater cyprinid fish endemic to Lake Manguao, Palawan, in the Philippines. It is consumed locally as a by-catch of commercial fishing, and sometimes used as animal feed. History of invasiveness is uncertain. B. manguaoensis has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. This species has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. The climate match was developed using climate stations on nearby islands because no stations were available on its native island. Certainty of this assessment is low due to lack of information. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
