Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Mylossoma acanthogaster (a fish, 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.

Mylossoma acanthogaster is a South American fish native to Venezuela. The history of invasiveness is uncertain. It has not been reported as introduced or established anywhere in the world. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low. Only part of southern Florida and the southern tip of Texas had a medium match. The certainty of assessment is low due to lack of information. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
