Are the habitat requirements for survival known and are they available in the potential receiving waters?
Habitat requirements of species are also important for survival in the potential receiving waters. Some species require rocky substrates to graze algae from others are pelagic and can adapt to a range of open water habitats such as streams or lakes. Please describe whether the habitat required for survival of the target species, potential diseases or parasites to be translocated is known and whether that habitat is present in the potential receiving water.
