Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Pangasius kremfi (a catfish, 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.

Pangasius krempfi is a species of catfish native to southeastern China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. This species is found in the Mekong River and coastal areas of the South China Sea. Only the freshwater range of this species was used for the climate match source locations. This species is used as a food fishery. There were no records of introductions to the wild found. Therefore, the history of invasiveness is no known nonnative population. The climate match was low. There were small areas of medium match in Florida and Texas. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
