Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo sorex (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 sorex is a species of carp native to the lower and middle Congo River basin in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There are no records of introductions of L. sorex outside the native range. Therefore, any negative impacts of introduction remain unknown. Certainty of assessment is low. Climate match to the contiguous United States is low overall, with medium matches in southern Florida and southern Louisiana. With no introduction history and low climate match, overall risk posed by L. sorex is uncertain.
