Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Paradoxoglanis caudivittatus (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.

Paradoxoglanis caudivittatus is an African catfish native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The history of invasiveness is no known nonnative population. P. caudivittatus has not been reported as introduced or established anywhere in the world. P. caudivittatus is regulated in Florida, Mississippi, and Texas. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low. Most of Florida and some of the Gulf coast had a medium match, everywhere else was low. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
