Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Cyprinus intha (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 intha is a species of carp native to the freshwater Lake Inle in Myanmar. This fish is used as a food source by the local communities but the population may be declining. The history of invasiveness is uncertain. No records of introduction were found and this species is not found in trade. The climate match was low. Southern Florida and Texas have areas of medium match. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
