Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Ituglanis paraguassuensis (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 paraguassuensis is a trichomycterid catfish found in only Rio Paraguaçu in northeastern Brazil. There have been no reports of this fish outside of its native range, so impacts of introductions are unknown. Like other trichomycterids, this species is listed as 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.
