Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo alluaudi (a carp, 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.

Labeo alluaudi is a carp native to the West African countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire). The species is designated as endangered on the IUCN Red List. No introductions of L. alluaudi have been reported, so any impacts of introduction remain unknown. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low overall, with areas of medium match in Florida and Texas. The overall risk assessment category for L. alluaudi is uncertain because of the lack of information about this species and its potential invasiveness.
