Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo pierrei (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 pierrei is a species of carp native to Southeast Asia. In its native range, L. pierrei is heavily fished for both commercial and subsistence purposes. There are no records of L. pierrei being introduced outside of its native range so potential impacts of introduction are unknown. Assessment certainty is low. The climate match with the contiguous United States is low overall, with small areas of medium match in southwestern Florida and extreme southern Texas. Due to lack of information, the risk posed by L. pierrei is uncertain.
