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 serratirostris is a small freshwater shrimp native to coastal rivers in Asia and Oceania. It has an amphidromous life cycle, which makes it difficult to breed the species in captivity. C. serratirostris has a medium climate match with the contiguous U.S. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses to the U.S., so certainty of this assessment is low. Overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
