Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Barbonymus balleroides - 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.

The history of invasiveness is uncertain. No records of introductions of Barbonymus balleroides were found. The climate match is very low. Some of the source points for the climate match were estimated from literature but the species’ climate requirements are wholly tropical. A refinement of source points would most likely drop the climate score even lower than the current 0.002. Overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
