Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Peckoltia brevis (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 brevis is a species of catfish native to South America. 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 introduction. The climate match was low for the majority of the contiguous United States with Florida having an individually high climate match. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
