Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Hoplerythrinus cinereus (a fish, 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.

Hoplerythrinus cinereus is a species of fish native to the island of Trinidad. Very little information is available on the species. It is not known to be in trade, but it is listed as prohibited in the State of Florida along with other members of its family. No introductions of H. cinereus have been reported so history of invasiveness is uncertain. Climate match to the contiguous United States is unknown because no climate stations are available within 100 km of the reported location of H. cinereus. Because of the lack of introduction history and an unknown climate match to the contiguous United States, overall risk posed by H. cinereus is uncertain.
