Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Glaphyropoma rodriguesi (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.

Glaphyropoma rodriguesi is native to the Mucujê River, a tributary of the Paraguaçu River in eastern Brazil. There has been no documentation of introductions outside of its native range, so potential impacts of introductions are unknown. The species is included on the State of Florida’s Prohibited Species List, along with many other catfishes in the family Trichomycteridae. G. rodriguesi has a low climate match within the United States. Overall risk assessment for G. rodriguesi is uncertain.
