Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Peckoltia simulata (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 simulata is a species of catfish native to French Guiana. P. simulata was first described in 2012. It was found in small forested creeks. The history of invasiveness is classified as “no known nonnative population.” There were no records of introductions to the wild found, and this species is not found in trade. The climate match was low. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
