Assessing the relationship between propagule pressure and invasion risk in ballast water

Assessing the relationship between propagule pressure and invasion risk in ballast water / Committee on Assessing Numeric Limits for Living Organisms in Ballast Water, Water Science and Technology Board, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council of the National Academies.

"The human-mediated introduction of species to regions of the world they could never reach by natural means has had great impacts on the environment, the economy, and society. In the ocean, these invasions have long been mediated by the uptake and subsequent release of ballast water in ocean-go...
