Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Belingka (Barbodes belinka) - 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.

Belingka (Barbodes belinka) is a species of cyprinid that is native to islands in southern Asia. The history of invasiveness for B. belinka is uncertain. There were no records of introductions found and therefore there is no information on impacts of introductions. The climate match is low. The climate match was conducted with only very general source locations; no georeferenced observations were available. If more detailed distributional information for B. belinka becomes available, the climate match should be revisited. The certainty of assessment is low. There is very little information in general about this species. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
