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.
Cambeva davisi is a freshwater parasitic catfish from east-central South America. It has not been reported as being introduced anywhere across the globe and can only be found in its native range in the upper Paraná River and Iguaçu and Ribeira de Iguapé River basins. Due to lack of introduction history, the history of invasiveness is uncertain. This species had a medium overall climate match with the contiguous United States, with high climate match in Florida and along the Gulf Coast. Due to lack of information about potential introductions, the certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
