Ecological Risk Screening Summary - Trichomycterus unicolor (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 unicolor is a small catfish native to the San Juan River basin in Colombia. T. unicolor has not been reported as introduced outside of its native range. Several U.S. States prohibit or restrict the possession, transport, or trade of this species along with other members of the family Trichomycteridae. History of invasiveness is uncertain. The climate match with the contiguous United States is low. The climate match was estimated based on locations described in the literature since no georeferenced locations were available. The certainty of this assessment low due a lack of information about this species. Overall risk posed by this species is uncertain.
