Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Cherax cairnsensis (a crayfish, no common name) - Uncertain Risk

Cherax cairnsensis is an Australian crayfish species with a broad distribution in coastal Queensland. No introductions of this species have been reported; without the experience of introductions elsewhere, further information is necessary to estimate potential impacts of introduction to the contiguous U.S. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. was medium overall, with Florida and Texas showing the highest matches. Overall risk posed by Cherax cairnsensis is uncertain due to lack of data.

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.
