A single load can run to hundreds of gallons. Some larger ships take on as much as 40 million gallons. The creatures that e along tend to be in their larva freefloating stage. When discharged in alien waters they can mature into crabs, jellyfish, slugs, and many other forms. Since the problem involves coastal species, simply banning ballast dumps in coastal waters would, in theory, solve it. Coastal anisms in ballast water that is flushed into midocean would not survive. Such a ban has worked for North American Inland Waterway. But it would be hard to enforce it worldwide. Heating ballast water or straining it should also halt the species spread. But before any such worldwide regulations were imposed, scientists would need a clearer view of what is going on. The continuous shuffling of marine anisms has changed the biology of the sea on a global scale. It can have devastating effects as in the case of the American b jellyfish that recently invaded the Black Sea. It has destroyed that sea39。s anchovy fishery by eating anchovy eggs.
