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.
Bombay labeo (Labeo porcellus) is a rare carp of western peninsular India. It has been synonymized with L. porcellus lankae in Sri Lanka, but this synonymy is doubtful. Therefore, this ERSS focuses on L. porcellus in peninsular India. L. porcellus has minor commercial importance and is sold locally for food. It has not been reported as introduced or established outside its native range. Climate match to the contiguous United States was low overall, with areas of medium match in southern Texas and southern Arizona. Overall risk posed by L. porcellus to the contiguous United States is uncertain.
