Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Blackfin Tilapia (Sarotherodon linnellii) - 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.

Blackfin Tilapia (Sarotherodon linnellii) is a fish endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo in Cameroon. The history of invasiveness is no known nonnative population. There were no records of introductions to the wild found, and therefore no information on impacts of introduction. The climate match was low for the entire contiguous United States. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
