Abstract
Ballast water releases from ships can have undesirable effects on the marine environment. Invasive amphibian species released from ballast water is a standout amongst the most basic issues presented these days in the marine ecology. This work surveys the accessible treatment approaches utilized for ballast water which can be ship or port-based, with the first being less demanding. On-board treatment approaches, named mechanical, physical and chemical techniques, were given particular importance. The effectiveness of these systems, along with component of ballast water, biological invasion, ballast water treatment standards and treatment technologies were compiled and presented in this chapter.
