Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Sarotherodon mvogoi (a tilapia, 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.

Sarotherodon mvogoi is a species of tilapia native to coastal Western Africa. The history of invasiveness is no known nonnative population. There were no records of introductions to the wild found and, therefore, no information on impacts of introduction. The climate match was low for most of the contiguous United States with Florida having pockets of high climate match. The certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk assessment is uncertain.
