Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo pangusia (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 pangusia is a cyprinid fish native to southern Asia from Afghanistan to Myanmar, and is particularly widely distributed in India. There are no reports of introduction or establishment in the United States or elsewhere outside the native range. Within the native range, the species has value for commercial fishing and aquaculture technology has been developed. The Climate 6 score indicated a medium climate match overall for the contiguous United States. The climate match for the majority of the contiguous United States was low, but it was high in Arizona and medium in limited other parts of the southern United States. Given the lack of introduction history, certainty of assessment is low and overall risk posed by L. pangusia to the contiguous United States is uncertain.
