Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Ituglanis cahyensis (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.

Ituglanis cahyensis is a trichomycterid catfish known only from one tributary in eastern Brazil. There have been no reports of this fish outside of its native range. Possession or transport of I. cahyensis is prohibited in the state of Florida, as is true for other trichomycterids. Due to its low climate match and absence of introduction history, the overall risk for this species is uncertain.
