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.

The Pearl Danio (Danio albolineatus) is a species of freshwater fish native to southern Asia. It is present in the aquarium trade, including being in trade within the United States. This fish has been reported as established in Japan via pet release but there is no information regarding the impacts of introduction. History of invasiveness is classified as None Documented. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low; only southern Florida and southeastern Texas had a medium match. This fish is found in trade but it is uncertain as to what extent. The certainty of assessment is low, and the overall risk category for Danio albolineatus is Uncertain.
