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.
Labeo kontius is a freshwater cyprinid native to India. This species is used in aquaculture, but it has never been reported as introduced or established outside of its native range. L. kontius has a low climate match with the contiguous U.S. Further information is needed to adequately assess the risk this species poses, so the certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
