Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Trichomycterus concolor (a catfish, 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.

Trichomycterus concolor is a trichomycterid catfish known from the upper São Francisco River basin in southern Brazil. It has not been introduced outside of its native range. Without being able to observe introductions in other parts of the world, it is impossible to know the potential impacts of introduction of T. concolor to the U.S. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has listed the parasitic catfish T concolor as a prohibited species. Climate match to the contiguous U.S. was low. The overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
