Efficacy of open-ocean ballast water exchange: a review
A literature search was conducted to summarize studies that quantified the efficacy of ballast water exchange. Here, a number of parameters were collated from 68 studies to provide a meta-analysis of the efficacy of exchange. The percent removal of ballast water, organisms, and various physical parameters was investigated to quantify exchange efficacy in terms of volumetric, biological, and wat...
متن کاملBacterial Biofilms Resist Key Host Defenses
B acteria have long intrigued, terrified, and baffled humans. Although most microorganisms are not pathogenic to humans, the thought of microbes existing everywhere can have a dramatic effect on the psyche. Once-specialized terms and acronyms, such as Staph, for Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, for methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and XDR, for extensively drugresistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of the Ballast Water Exchange Method in Removal of the Heavy Metals in the Ballast Tanks of the Ships, Bushehr Port- Persian Gulf
Ships transport about 80 percent of world trade and transfer approximately three to five billion tons of ballast water internationally every year. Due to the likely presence of pollutants, the ballast water discharged by ships can have negative effects on aquatic ecosystems. This study was conducted on 10 ships that entered the Bushehr port to determine the effectiveness of the ballast water ex...

متن کاملQuantitative analyses of pollution-indicator and pathogenic bacteria in Mumbai waters from ballast water exchange perspective.
As large numbers of ships either take in ballast from or discharge their ballast into the Mumbai Harbor region, it is pertinent to quantify microorganisms of health concerns and suggest on the suitability of water for ballasting purposes. To meet with this main aim, a selected set of general and pathogenic bacterial groups and their seasonal variations were studied from the Mumbai Harbor area. ...
