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 dussumieri is a species of carp native to southern India and Sri Lanka. It is prized as a food fish. No introductions of this species have been reported in the United States or elsewhere outside the native range. Climate match to the contiguous United States was low overall, with medium matches in parts of Florida and Texas. Without a history of introduction from which to learn, overall risk posed by L. dussumieri is uncertain.
