Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Labeo worthingtoni (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 worthingtoni is a fish endemic to Lake Malawi in southeastern Africa. There are no records of this species being introduced outside of its native range or information about potential impacts if it were introduced. Certainty of assessment is low. Climate match with the contiguous United States is low with the highest match a 3 out of ten in Florida. Due to lack of information and introduction, the risk for L. worthingtoni is uncertain.
