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 roseopunctatus is a cyprinid native to Western Africa. L. roseopunctatus is harvested for human consumption. This species has a low climate match with the contiguous U.S., and it has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. Certainty of this assessment is low because of the lack of information available about this species. The overall risk category is Uncertain.
