Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Peckoltia braueri (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.

Peckoltia braueri is a species of armored catfish native to rivers in southern Guyana and northern Brazil. P. braueri is used as a food source by local communities and is present in the aquarium trade. No records of P. braueri in trade in the United States were found. The history of invasiveness is classified as “no known nonnative population.” There were no records of introductions found and therefore no information on impacts of introductions. The climate match was low. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
