Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Hypostomus borellii (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.

Hypostomus borellii is an armored catfish native to Argentina and Bolivia. There is uncertainty about whether its range includes Uruguay. The history of invasiveness is uncertain. No records of introduction were found therefore there is no information on impacts of introduction. The climate match is low but there were small areas of high match in southern Texas and the southwest. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
