Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo alticentralis (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 alticentralis is a carp native to the Congo River basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Only three specimens of L. alticentralis have been reported. No introductions of this species have been reported, so the potential for negative impacts of introduction remains uncertain. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low overall, with medium match in parts of Florida and Louisiana. Overall risk assessment category of L. alticentralis is Uncertain.
