Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Three-lined Catfish (Glyptothorax trilineatus) - 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.

Three-lined Catfish (Glyptothorax trilineatus) is a species of catfish native to South and Southeast Asia. G. trilineatus has a low climate match in the contiguous United States, with a slightly higher score near the Gulf Coast of Florida and Texas. Information about this species is available but proper identification has been questioned and discernment between species and others within this genus renders assessing overall risk assessment of this species problematic. Therefore, the potential impacts of Glyptothorax trilineatus in the contiguous U.S. are unknown. The overall risk of this species is uncertain.
