Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Cherax lorentzi aruanus (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 lorentzi aruanus is a crayfish native to the Aru Islands of eastern Indonesia. Very little information is available on this species, and it has not been reported as introduced. Climate match to the contiguous United States is low, with only a small area of medium match in southeastern Florida. Further information is necessary to fully assess the risks posed by C. lorentzi aruanus, so the overall risk assessment category is “Uncertain”.
