Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Schultzichthys bondi (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.

Schultzichthys bondi is a trichomycterid catfish species native to Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru. Very little is known about its biology, and it has not been reported as introduced outside its native range, so impacts of introduction are unknown. As with other trichomycterids, possession of this species is prohibited in the state of Florida. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. Overall risk posed by S. bondi is uncertain.
