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.
Tometes lebaili is a fish native to French Guiana and Suriname. It is used in subsistence fisheries. T. lebaili was first described in 2002 with virtually all known information about the species coming from that original paper. The history of invasiveness is classified as No Known Nonnative Population. There were no records of introductions to the wild found and therefore no information on impacts of introduction. The climate match was Low for the contiguous United States. There were no areas of high or medium match. The certainty of assessment is Low. The overall risk assessment is Uncertain.
