Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Rednose Labeo (Labeo altivelis) - 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.

Labeo altivelis is a carp native to Africa. This species is important as a food fish, but it has never been reported as introduced outside of its native range. L. altivelis 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.
