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 parkoi is a trichomycterid catfish native to the Amazon River Basin in Brazil. There have been no reports of this fish outside of its native range. Like other trichomycterids, I. parkoi is a prohibited species in the state of Florida. Due to its low climate match and absence of introduction history, the overall risk for this species is uncertain.
