A Comparison of Microbial Water Quality and Diversity for Ballast and Tropical Harbor Waters
Indicator organisms and antibiotic resistance were used as a proxy to measure microbial water quality of ballast tanks of ships, and surface waters in a tropical harbor. The survival of marine bacteria in ballast tanks appeared to diminish over longer water retention time, with a reduction of cell viability observed after a week based on heterotrophic plate counts. Pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA ge...
متن کاملInvestigating the Plankton Diversity and Density in ballast tanks of ships entering the Persian Gulf (Bushehr Port)
Shipping is among the most important ways to transfer the non-native species. In the present study, the transferability of the plankton species by the ballast water of 10 ships entering the Bushehr Port in the Persian Gulf has been investigated. The values of physicochemical parameters measured in the ballast waters showed that the average temperature, pH, salinity and TOC, were 26.2 0C, 8.17, ...
متن کاملResearch Article: Zooplankton abundance and diversity in the ballast water of ships, Shahid Rajaee Port, Persian Gulf, Hormozgan, Iran
In the present study, the ballast waters from 24 ships arriving at Shahid Rajaee Port in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan Province, Iran, were studied in two warm and cold seasons (summer 2017 and winter 2018). The zooplankton sampling was conducted under the MEPC 173(58) method, by bucket and using a 50-micron mesh to filter 300 liters of ballast water. In total, 57 zooplankton species, belonging to 8 ...
متن کاملBiological Indexes of Zooplankton from Bahrakan water – Hendijan harbor (NW Persian Gulf)
Biological indexes of zooplankton in coastal region of Bahrakan waters- Hendijan harbor were investigated. samples were collected using plankton net (45 cm and mesh size of 100 μm) during July, August, October of 2010 and December, February, April of 2011.Mean of Shannon diversity index was (1.95) over the year and the min of Margalef species richness was (0.98). The highest value of these inde...
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. ...
