Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Barbodes microps (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 microps is a freshwater cyprinid found only in Djombang, Indonesia. B. microps are endemic to a river system found within a cave in the East Java region of Indonesia. This species is protected by the Indonesia government. No introductions outside of the native range have been reported, causing an uncertain history of invasiveness. The overall climate match for the contiguous United States is low. There was only one area of medium match which was located in southern Florida. The certainty of assessment is low due to a lack of information. The overall risk assessment category for Barbodes microps is uncertain.
