Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Cyprinus acutidorsalis (a carp, 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.

Cyprinus acutidorsalis is a species of carp native to southeastern China. The species is used commercially. The history of invasiveness is unknown. No records of introduction were found. The climate match is medium. Most of the contiguous United States had a low match; however, southern Florida had an area of high climate match. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
