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.
Caridina gracilipes is a small freshwater shrimp native to southern and southeastern Asia. This species has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. C. gracilipes is one of the better-studied Caridina shrimps, but has no documented history of introduction. Because of this, possible impacts of introduction are unknown and the certainty of this assessment is low. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses. Overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
