Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Culter oxycephaloides (a fish, 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. This additional information will help inform decisions on where, when, and how the species may be used to minimize risks of them becoming invasive.

Culter oxycephaloides is a fish native to China. The history of invasiveness is uncertain. It has not been reported as introduced or established anywhere in the world. The climate match for the contiguous United States was medium with Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and South Carolina having individually high climate scores. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
