Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Henonemus intermedius (a 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.

Henonemus intermedius is a trichomycterid catfish species native to Brazil. The species, along with other members of its family, is listed as a prohibited species in the state of Florida. Very little is known about the biology of H. intermedius, and it has not been reported as introduced outside its native range, so impacts of introduction are unknown. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. Overall risk posed by H. intermedius is uncertain.
