Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Sinanodonta schrenkii (a bivalve, 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.

Sinanodonta schrenkii is a freshwater bivalve native to eastern Asia. It is not present in trade and there are no records of introductions, resulting in a history of invasiveness classification of No Known Nonnative Population. The overall climate match with the contiguous United States was High with an area of high match in the upper Midwest, and medium matches primarily in the central portion of the Country. The certainty of this assessment is Low due to a lack of information regarding this species. The overall risk assessment category for Sinanodonta schrenkii is Uncertain.
