Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Barbodes sealei (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 sealei is a fish native to Borneo. Barbodes sealei normally can be found in rivers and streams. The history of invasiveness is none documented. B. sealei has become established outside of its native range in Palau, but means of introduction and any impacts it may cause have not been recorded yet. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low, no areas of medium or high climate match were found. All states have low individual climate scores. The certainty of assessment is low due to lack of information. The overall risk assessment category for Barbodes sealei is uncertain.
