Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Tilapia camerunensis - 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.

Tilapia camerunensis is a benthopelagic cichlid known only from Cameroon. It has not been reported outside its native range. Because T. camerunensis has no history of invasiveness, it is currently impossible to know what impacts T. camerunensis might have if introduced to the U.S. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. Overall risk is uncertain.
