Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo nigripinnis (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 nigripinnis is a cyprinid fish native to India and Pakistan. No impacts of introduction are known for L. nigripinnis because the species has no known history of introduction. Certainty of assessment is low. Overall climate match to the contiguous United States is low, with scattered medium matches in Florida, the Great Lakes, the Southwest, and the Pacific Northwest. However, substantial parts of the native range are not represented in the source locations for the climate matching analysis, so the calculated match may be an underestimate of true match. Overall risk posed by L. nigripinnis is uncertain.
