translocation definition

translocation means the process of capturing a specimen of a listed threatened or protected marine animal species at a particular location, the conveying or transporting of such specimen and the release of the specimen in another location;
translocation means the process by which a locally absent species is intentionally moved within its natural range for its use in aquaculture to an area where it previously did not exist because of bio-geographical reasons;
translocation means the transport and release of animals from one location to another.

More Definitions of translocation

translocation means the transport and release of live wild animals from one location to another.
translocation means the removal by human and mechanical means of a wild elephant from its existing location to another area;
translocation means the process by which an aquatic organism is intentionally moved within its natural range for its use in aquaculture to an area where it previously did not exist because of bio-geographical reasons;
translocation means a deliberate and mediated movement of wild individuals or populations from one part of their range to another;
translocation means the movement of leopard frogs from one site to another within the covered area. The leopard frog reestablishment/distribution criteria described below will be used to determine where reestablishment and translocation of Chiricahua leopard frogs within the covered area will occur and how they should be distributed. These criteria are designed to achieve the biological objectives described above and to establish and maintain suitable metapopulation dynamics through natural leopard frog colonization, dispersal, and interchange. However, in practice this may be difficult to achieve, at least in the early years of the program, and active management of leopard frog populations, including artificial interchange through ongoing reestablishment and translocations, will probably be necessary. Specific reestablishment/distribution criteria are:
translocation means domestic movement of fish between atolls in commercial aquaculture operations; and
translocation means the movement of species of flora or fauna from one habitat to another within Solomon Islands;
