Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Ituglanis epikarsticus (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 epikarsticus is a trichomycterid catfish with a very limited native distribution in central Brazil. There have been no reports of this fish outside of its native range. Possession or transport of this species is prohibited in the state of Florida. Due to its low climate match to the contiguous U.S. and absence of introduction history, the overall risk for this species is uncertain.
