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.
Pseudancistrus barbatus is an armored catfish found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana and Suriname. Pseudancistrus barbatus has not been documented outside of its native range. The history of invasiveness is classified as “no known nonnative population.” The contiguous United States received a very low climate match with virtually no areas of medium or high match. Due to limited information available on the species the certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
