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

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.

Cherax longipes is a crayfish species known from a single lake in western New Guinea. No introduction history was reported for the species, nor any evidence of trade. C. longipes has an overall low climate match to the contiguous U.S. Florida and Washington prohibit possession or sale of C. longipes. The overall risk assessment is uncertain, because of the unknown impacts of introduction, were it to occur, and the low climate match.
