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.
Microctenopoma ansorgii is a fish native to Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and possibly Cameroon in central Africa. Microctenopoma ansorgii has been introduced outside of its native range into Madagascar, but it is unknown what impacts this introduction has had and there is not sufficient trade information available for this species. The history of invasiveness is Data Deficient. The climate match for the contiguous United States is low, with areas of medium match located in peninsular Florida and areas of high match located in the very southern portion of Florida. All States received low individual climate scores except for Florida, which had a high individual climate score. The certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category for Microctenopoma ansorgii is uncertain.
