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.
Caridina gracilirostris is a small freshwater shrimp native to Asia. It is present in the aquarium trade and its biology makes it suitable for production through aquaculture. C. gracilirostris has a low climate match with the contiguous United States overall, with areas of medium match in Florida and Texas. This species has no known history of invasiveness; it has never been documented as introduced or established outside of its native range. Because of a lack of information, certainty of this assessment is low. Overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
