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 is not documented for Knipowitschia caucasica. There are records of introductions that resulted in established populations but there was no information found on impacts of those introductions. The climate match is high. It indicates that if this species was introduced, there is appropriate climate for this species to establish in the Great Lakes, New England coast, and in the west. The certainty of the assessment is medium. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
