Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Paradoxoglanis parvus (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 parvus is an African electric catfish native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The history of invasiveness is no nonnative population. P. parvus has not been reported as introduced or established anywhere in the world outside of its native range. This species is not found in trade but is harvested for food. The overall climate match for the contiguous United States was low. Almost all of the contiguous United States had a low match, except for southern Florida which had a medium match. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
