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.
Striuntius lineatus, the Lined Barb, is a small fish native to Malaysia and Indonesia. It is used in the aquarium trade. This species has a low climate match with the contiguous United States. It has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. History of invasiveness is uncertain. Because there is no information on introductions from which to base an assessment of risk, the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is therefore Uncertain.
