Several factors can determine a trade for an organism, including its scarcity or availability in the wild or in captivity, its economic value, its cultural or traditional significance, its conservation status, and any legal regulations or restrictions that apply to its trade. Additionally, the demand for the organism in various markets, such as pet trade, food trade, or pharmaceutical trade, can also influence trading decisions. Overall, the decision to trade an organism is often influenced by a combination of ecological, economic, and social factors.
