Cherax bicarinatus is an Australian crayfish native to the Northern Territory. No introductions of this species have been reported, and little is known about its biology although it is a host for a temnocephalan ectoparasite. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. With no known history of introduction outside its native range, C. bicarinatus has an overall risk assessment of “Uncertain” for the contiguous U.S.
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.
