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