Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Scleronema minutum (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.

Scleronema minutum is a trichomycterid catfish found in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. There have been no reports of S. minutum outside of its native range, so any impacts of introduction remain unknown. Possession or trade of this species is prohibited in the state of Florida. Due to its low climate match and absence of introduction history, the overall risk posed by S. minutum is uncertain.
