Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Schultzichthys gracilis (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 gracilis is a trichomycterid catfish found in the Guayabero River basin of Colombia. There have been no reports of this fish outside of its native range. Like other trichomycterids, S. gracilis is on the state of Florida’s prohibited species list.
