Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo curchius (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 curchius is a freshwater carp native to South Asia. This species has a low climate match with the contiguous U.S. There is little information available about this species; both its range and its taxonomic status are uncertain. L. curchius has been reported to be used in aquaculture in its native range, but there have been no documented introductions of this species outside of its native range. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses to the contiguous U.S., so certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
