Help me please!! I've looked it up and I can't find any answers.

1. Dromedary camels in Australia
2. Comb jellyfish (ctenophores) in the Black Sea
3. Piranhas in the United States

Was the introduction intentional or accidental for the things above?

How did it happen?

Why did the organism do well in the new environment?

What was the effect on the native environment?

What efforts have been made to eliminate or reduce the numbers of the organism?

What is the status right now of the organism in the new environment (has it been eliminated, or does it still flourish)?

The Jelly fish became over populated in the black sea, because of over fishing, and uncontrolled agricultural runoff.

The camel was imported, for transport, and exploration. (especially for the harsh conditions of the outback)

The piranha is very confusing, and people are still trying to figure out how they got to the United states, because they are found in very small numbers across the US, but seem to thrive in California, it is believed that they were smuggled into the US.
