Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Miuroglanis platycephalus (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.

Miuroglanis platycephalus is a trichomycterid catfish native to northern Brazil. 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 low. Overall risk posed by M. platycephalus is uncertain.
