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.
Sinanodonta jourdyi is a freshwater mussel native to the Pearl, Red, and Lam River basins in Vietnam. There are no records of this species outside of its native range, and very little information is available about the species in general. The history of invasiveness is No Known Nonnative Population. S. jourdyi has a medium climate match with the contiguous United States; the climate match was medium to high in Florida and low everywhere else. Certainty of this assessment is Low because of a lack of available information on the invasive potential of S. jourdyi. The Overall Risk Assessment Category is Uncertain.
