DOI: 10.1007/s00773-018-0618-3
Abstract: Ballast water is fresh or seawater taken onboard to stabilize a ship. By traveling with the vessels, different species can be introduced into a new area with potentially high impact on health, economy, and environment.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-2308-4
Abstract: The ballasting and de-ballasting of ships are two necessary operations with ballast water that provide stability for safe navigation. Empty ships must ballast tanks with water, which contains living organisms and subsequently carries them away… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.126697
Abstract: The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance are major threats to ecosystems and human health. Transoceanic channels (e.g., ship ballast water) can transfer harmful aquatic organisms across geographically isolated waters. However, the occurrence of antibiotic… read more here.
