Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo baldasseronii (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 baldasseronii is a freshwater carp native to Mozambique. The history of invasiveness is uncertain. It has not been reported as introduced or established anywhere else in the world. The climate match to the contiguous United States was medium. However, Florida did have a high individual climate score. The results of the climate match are based on using the entire country of Mozambique for source points and not actual observation locations of the species. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
