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.
Labeo ansorgii is a carp native to Angola and Namibia. No introductions of this species have been documented, so the potential for invasiveness remains uncertain. The climate match analysis resulted in low match for the contiguous United States, but with medium matches mostly along the U.S.-Mexico border. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain due to uncertain history of invasiveness and the low climate match.
