Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Dawkinsia tambraparniei (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.

Dawkinsia tambraparniei is a freshwater fish native to the India. The history of invasiveness is none documented. Magalhães and Jacobi (2013) suggests that this species has been introduced into Brazil and is competing with native species. However, there is no information regarding if these introductions have led to an established population, exactly where these introductions have taken place, or if they have caused harm. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low with all States having a low individual climate score. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
