Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Henicorhynchus lineatus (a carp, 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.

Henicorhynchus lineatus is a freshwater fish species native to Southeast Asia. It may be used as a food fish in its native range. There is no indication that this species is in trade in the United States. History of invasiveness is uncertain because no introductions of H. lineatus have been reported. H. lineatus has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. There were areas of medium climate match in southern Texas and Florida. Because so little information is available about H. lineatus, certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
