Review of two decades of progress in the development of management options for reducing or eradicating phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacteria in ship's ballast water (2009, background): “…reducing agent such as a sulphide, by the use of a vacuum chamber, or oxygen can be purged out of the ballast tanks with a continual flow of an inert gas from an onboard generator (Mountfort et al. 1999a; Tamburri et al. 2002, Browning Jr. et al. 2004; Tamburri et al. 2004, McCollin et al. 2007b).”
Removal of natural populations of marine plankton by a large-scale ballast water treatment system (2003, background): “Specifically, the addition of hydrogen peroxide as an aquatic biocide has been tested (Kuzirian et al. 2001), as well as the effect of ballast water de-oxygenation (Tamburri et al. 2002).”
Introduced species policy, management, and future research needs (2005, background): “A third is to introduce policies and control efforts that target pathways rather than species (Tamburri et al. 2002).”
The Role of Propagule Pressure in Invasion Success (2009, background): “Organisms transported by ballast water for example, risk exposure to high concentrations of harmful metals, biocides and hypoxic conditions (Jelmert and Van Leeuwen 2000; Tamburri et al. 2002; Jones et al. 2006).”
