Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Lesser Silver Mud Carp (Henicorhynchus caudimaculatus) - 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.

The lesser silver mud carp (Henicorhynchus caudimaculatus) is a freshwater fish found in Cambodia and Thailand. It may be a food source locally. There is very limited information available on this species and no records of introduction, making the history of invasiveness uncertain. The contiguous United States had a low climate match. Only southern Texas and peninsular Florida had areas of medium to high match. The certainty of this assessment is low, and the overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
