Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Ituglanis eichorniarum (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 eichorniarum is a trichomycterid catfish recorded from the upper Paraguay and the Paraña river basins running from southeastern Brazil to northeastern Argentina. No introductions of this species have been reported, so impacts of introduction are unknown. Like other trichomycterids, I. eichorniarum is classified as a prohibited species by the state of Florida. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. Overall risk posed by I. eichorniarum is uncertain.
