Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Giant Barb (Catlocarpio siamensis) - 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.

Giant Barb (Catlocarpio siamensis) is a freshwater riverine species native to Mae klong, Mekong and Chao Phraya river basins in Asia. No introductions of this species have been reported. More research is needed to understand the impacts from introductions for this species; absence of this research makes the certainty of this assessment low. Climate match with the United States is low. Overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
