Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Peckoltia sabaji (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 sabaji is a species of catfish native to Guyana and Venezuela. P. sabaji was first described in 2003. It may be found associated with boulders in the streams of its native range. The history of invasiveness is classified as “No Known Nonnative Population.” There were no records of introductions to the wild found and therefore no information on impacts of introduction. The climate match was low for the entire contiguous United States. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
