What does a business or government agency need to consider before transferring a nonindigenous species?

What does a business or government agency need to consider before transferring a nonindigenous species to another country?

Answer 1

it needs to consider how that species will be received in the new country by the country's indigenous species.  In other words, will the non-indigenous species bring a new strain or type of disease, will it prey on other species in the host country  and to what extent, will it adapt to the climate of the host country.  In addition, how fast will it take to reproduce in the host country and will this wipe out other species' territories.., etc.
