Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Ituglanis herberti (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 herberti is a trichomycterid catfish native to the Bodoquena River in the Paraguay River basin in Brazil. No introductions of this species have been reported, so impacts of introduction are unknown. Like other trichomycterids, I. herberti 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. herberti is uncertain.
