Ballast Water: Problems and Management

2019
Harmful species transfers undoubtedly present one of the strongest man-made threats to the aquatic world. For safe operations, vessels essentially depend on ballast water in which they usually carry several species so that each vessel has the potential to transport that species and introduce it to a new area. Species are not present only in the ballast
