Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Tilapia dageti - 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 dageti is a demersal, potamodromous cichlid native to western and central sub-Saharan Africa. It has not been reported outside its native range. Because T. dageti has no history of invasion, it is currently impossible to know what impacts T. dageti might have if introduced to the U.S. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. is low. Overall risk is uncertain.
