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 for Astyanax jordani is uncertain. There was one record of introduction found for the Philippines but it could not be verified or determined if the introduction resulted in an established population. No information on any impacts of that introduction was found. The climate match was medium, particularly in the southwest and Florida. This area shares much in common with the species’ native range just south in Mexico. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
