Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Trichomycterus gabrieli (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 gabrieli is a freshwater parasitic catfish from South America. It has not been reported outside of its native range of the Upper Negro River basin in Brazil. Due to lack of introduction history, the history of invasiveness is uncertain. This species has a low climate match in the contiguous United States, with low climate scores in all States. Due to the lack of information about potential invasiveness, the certainty of assessment is low. The overall risk posed by Trichomycterus gabrieli is uncertain.
