Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo macrostoma (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 macrostoma is a freshwater carp native to the Congo River basin in Africa. L. macrostoma is used as a food fish. This species has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. L. macrostoma has a low climate match with the contiguous U.S., with the area of highest match located in Florida. There is limited information available on the biology of this species. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses, so the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
