Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Seminole Killifish (Fundulus seminolis) - 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.

Fundulus seminolis is a large freshwater topminnow native to peninsular Florida. F. seminolis has been introduced and established in Lake Marion, South Carolina. It was also introduced to St. Andrew Bay, Florida, but did not establish there. There are no studies on the impacts of the introduced population, resulting in a low certainty for this assessment. The overall risk for this species is uncertain.
