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.
Mayaheros ericymba, the Mojarra de San Bulha, is a cichlid species known only from the San Bulha cenote in southern Mexico. This species has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. M. ericymba has a low climate match with the contiguous United States, and a medium climate match in Texas specifically. The certainty of this assessment is low because there is very little information available about this species. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
