Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo pellegrini (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 pellegrini is a carp native to the Juba River system of Ethiopia and Somalia. It is not a well-studied species. There have been no reports of introduction or establishment in the United States or elsewhere. Certainty of assessment is low. Climate match to the contiguous United States was low. The climate match is likely to be an underestimate because only one source location was used; this location was estimated from a verbal description because no georeferenced occurrences were available. Without a history of introduction, the risk posed by L. pellegrini to the contiguous United States is uncertain.
