Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Plectrochilus wieneri (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.

Plectrochilus wieneri is a small catfish native to the Napo River basin in Ecuador. There is very little information available on this species. P. wieneri has a low climate match with the United States and no documented history of introduction outside its native range. Like other

trichomycterids, P. wieneri is listed as a prohibited species in the state of Florida. Overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
