Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Ituglanis gracilior (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 gracilior is a trichomycterid catfish found in Guyana and Suriname. There have been no reports of this species outside of its native range, so impacts of its introduction to novel habitats are unknown. Possession or transport of I. gracilior is prohibited in the state of Florida, as is true of other trichomycterids. Due to its low climate match and absence of introduction history, the overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
