Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Desmopuntius gemellus (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.

Desmopuntius gemellus is a small cyprinid fish native to Sumatra in Indonesia. This species is rarely used in the aquarium trade, and does not appear to be in trade in the United States. D. gemellus has a low climate match with the contiguous United States, and it has never been documented as introduced outside of its native range. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses to the contiguous United States, so the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
