Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Henicorhynchus lobatus (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 lobatus is a freshwater fish species native to Southeast Asia. This species is important as a food fish in its native range. There is no indication that this species is in trade in the United States. There are no reports of H. lobatus outside of its native range. Therefore, history of invasiveness is uncertain. H. lobatus has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. There were areas of medium climate match in southern Texas and Florida. Due to a lack of information on impacts of introduction, certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
