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.
Sarotherodon caroli is a species of cichlid fish endemic to Lake Barombi Mbo in Cameroon, Africa. The history of invasiveness for S. caroli is no known nonnative population. No records of introduction were found and, therefore, there is no information on impacts of introductions to evaluate. Multiple States regulate or prohibit S. caroli. S. caroli had a low climate match. There were no areas of medium or high match in the contiguous United States. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
