Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo chariensis (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 chariensis is a carp native to central Africa. This species has never been reported as introduced outside of its native range. L. chariensis has a low climate match with the contiguous United States; the only state with a high climate match was Florida. 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.
