Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Listrura nematopteryx (a catfish, 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.

Listrura nematopteryx is a trichomyterid catfish native to southeastern Brazil that lives in the substrate of shallow streams. Very little is known about its biology, and it has not been reported as introduced outside its native range, so impacts of introduction are unknown. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is medium. Overall risk posed by L. nematopteryx is uncertain.
