Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Pethia yuensis (a fish, 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.

Pethia yuensis is a freshwater fish endemic to Manipur, India. This species is only known from two locations in northeast India where they inhabit streams and rivers. This fish may be economically important to the area as an aquarium fish. Pethia yuensis is listed as “Vulnerable” by the IUCN Red List due to the threat of urbanization. This species has not been introduced anywhere outside of its native range. Therefore history of invasiveness is classified as No Known Nonnative Population. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low, with no areas of medium or high match. The climate match is based on a description of the range as there were no georeferenced points available to use in selecting source points for the climate match. The certainty of this assessment is low due to lack of information. The overall risk assessment category for Pethia yuensis is uncertain.
