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. This additional information will help inform decisions on where, when, and how the species may be used to minimize risks of them becoming invasive.
Cirrhinus rubirostris is a freshwater fish found only in the Tenasserim River basin of southeastern Myanmar. The history of invasiveness is uncertain. There are no records of this species being found outside of its native range or used in trade. The climate match for Cirrhinus rubirostris is low for the vast majority of the contiguous United States; areas of Florida being the only exception with medium match, yet still scoring an overall low individual score. There is minimal information available for this species causing the certainty of assessment to be low. The overall risk category for Cirrhinus rubirostris is uncertain.
