Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Glanapteryx niobium (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 niobium is a trichomycterid catfish native to the Morro dos Seis Lagos lake complex in northern Brazil, where it is known from a single specimen. There have been no reports of this fish outside of its native range. Possession and importation of the species are prohibited in the state of Florida. Due to its low Climate 6 score for the contiguous U.S. and absence of introduction history, the overall risk for this species is uncertain.
