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.
Jordanella floridae is native to the southeast coastal region of the United States. Introductions outside its native range have likely occurred through the aquarium trade. Australia and the Philippines are the only known introduction locations outside of the United States, although establishment has not been observed in either country. Information on this species outside its native range is sparse, particularly so in the peer-reviewed published literature. Overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
