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.
The history of invasiveness for Macrobrachium eriocheirum is uncertain. No records of introductions were found outside of its native range. The climate match is low with pockets of medium match in Florida and Texas. The confidence in the results of the climate match is low. A specific distribution for this species could not be found. A generalized, country level distribution was used for the source locations of the climate match. Using a more detailed, specific range for source points may change the results of the climate match. The certainty of assessment is low due to a general lack of information. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
