Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo brachypoma (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 brachypoma is a carp native to an uncertain area of Africa, possibly ranging from Western Nigeria to Ghana. This species has never been reported as introduced outside of its native range. L. brachypoma 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.
