Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Hatcheria macraei (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.

Hatcheria macraei is a Patagonian catfish about which relatively little is known of its biology or distribution. No introductions of this species have been reported. H. macraei preys on invertebrates and exhibits an opportunistic reproductive strategy. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is high, with all areas of high match occurring in the western U.S. Overall risk assessment for H. macraei is uncertain.
