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 cylindricus is a carp native to southern and eastern Africa. This species is used as a food fish and in public aquariums, but it has never been reported as introduced outside of its native range. L. cylindricus has a medium climate match with the contiguous United States. Because of a lack of information from which to base an assessment of invasive potential, certainty of this assessment is low. The overall risk assessment category is Uncertain.
