Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Glanapteryx anguilla (catfish, 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.

Glanapteryx anguilla is a trichomycterid catfish found in the Negro and Orinoco River basins of northern South America. There have been no reports of this fish outside of its native range. It is listed as a prohibited species in the state of Florida. Due to its low Climate 6 proportion for the contiguous U.S. and its absence of introduction history, the overall risk for this species is uncertain.
