Application of ion torrent sequencing to the assessment of the effect of alkali ballast water treatment on microbial community diversity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The impact of NaOH as a ballast water treatment (BWT) on microbial community diversity was assessed using the 16S rRNA gene based Ion Torrent sequencing with its new 400 base chemistry.

Ballast Water Treatment Performance Evaluation under Real Changing Conditions
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 We conducted a shipboard ballast water test using seawater of extreme turbidity collected from Shanghai Port (China) (>300 mg total suspended solids (TSS)/L), and normal seawater collected in other ports (

Assessing ballast treatment standards for effect on rate of establishment using a stochastic model of the green crab [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2012 This paper describes a stochastic model used to characterize the probability/risk of NIS establishment from ships' ballast water discharges. Establishment is defined as the existence of a sufficient number of individuals of a species to provide for a ...

Do Ballast Water Management Systems Reduce Phytoplankton Introductions to Canadian Waters?
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Global coastal aquatic ecosystems are negatively impacted by the introduction of harmful aquatic species through the discharge of ships’ ballast water. To reduce discharges of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens, such as toxic phytoplankton species ...

WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, 2021 Ships use ballast water to ensure their buoyancy and stability. A significant amount of them is transported in various water basins of the World Ocean. Thus, together with ballast water, many microorganisms, phytoplankton and zooplankton are transported.

Optimal UV Quantity for a Ballast Water Treatment System for Compliance with Imo Standards
Polish Maritime Research, 2023 Ballast water management is an effective measure to ensure that organisms, bacteria and viruses do not migrate with the ballast water to other areas. In 2004, the International Maritime Organization adopted the International Convention on the Control and
