Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Poropuntius rhomboides (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.

Poropuntius rhomboides is a fish native to Yunnan Province in southern China, including the upper reaches of the Red River. Little information is available about this species. The history of invasiveness for Poropuntius rhomboides is uncertain. No records of introductions were found. The climate match for the contiguous United States was low. The climate match was developed using source points representing the Yunnan Province in China, where P. rhomboides is native, because no georeferenced locations were available. The certainty of assessment is low due to a lack of information. The overall risk assessment category is uncertain.
