Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo bottegi (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 bottegi is a carp native to Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya. This species has never been reported as introduced outside of its native range. L. bottegi has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. Because of a lack of information from which to base an assessment of invasive potential, certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
