Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Nairobi Labeo (Labeo trigliceps; a carp) - 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.

Labeo trigliceps is a cyprinid from the Athi River in Kenya. Climate match to the contiguous United States is low based on estimated source locations; no georeferenced occurrences were found for the species. It is unclear if this fish was introduced what kind of impacts it would have. There are no reports of this species in the United States. The lack of documented introductions and impacts indicate an uncertain overall risk.
