1. Nassarius foveolatus (Gastropoda, Nassariidae), a new record of an exotic species in Brazil
Abstract Exotic species are those that occur in an area beyond their natural limit and they are considered invasive when they cause harm to the economy, environment, or human health. In coastal environments, ballast water and inlays on the hull and other parts of vessels are the main ways of introducing invasive aquatic alien species. Nassarius foveolatus (D

2. Use of osmoregulatory ability to predict invasiveness of the Indo-Pacific swimming crab Charybdis hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) an invader in Southern Brazil
Abstract The Indo-Pacific swimming crab Charybdis hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) is native to the Indo-Pacific Ocean, and occurs as an invasive species along the Eastern American coast, where it was probably introduced in ballast water. The present study evaluated the osmoregulation and salinity tolerance of C. hellerii in Paranaguá Bay, Paraná, Brazil,

3. Enterobacteria identification and detection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli in a Port Complex
The Port Complex of Maranhão (PCM) is the second largest port complex in Brazil, receiving ships with large volumes of ballast water. To evaluate the microbiological quality of its waters, physicochemical parameters (pH and salinity), the number of coliforms (thermotolerants and totals), and the presence of enterobacterias and diarrheagenic Escherichia coli

4. Alternativas de tratamento da água de lastro em portos exportadores de minério de ferro. / Ballast water treatment alternatives in the iron ore ports exporting.
This thesis aims at making a technical and economic analysis of the ballast water treatment in Brazilian iron ore ports. Three distinct treatment alternatives were studied: (1) onshore ballast water treatment; (2) water desalination plant to ballast water treatment; (3) onboard ballast water treatment in shuttle tanker vessels operating in the mooring, where

5. Desenvolvimento de metodologia para controle das larvas de Limnoperna fortunei com o uso de radiação ultravioleta e seus impactos sobre Microscystis aeruginosa potencialmente presentes na água superficial
L. fortunei (Dunker, 1857), commonly known as golden mussel comes from Southeast Asia. It might have been unintentionally introduced in our water sources through ballast water, with the first records in 1991, in Rio de la Plata, near Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America. In Brazil it was first seen in 1998, in Jacuí Delta, opposite Porto Alegre¿s harbor.

6. Non indigenous ascidians in port and natural environments in a tropical Brazilian bay
Despite limited natural dispersal, some species of ascidians can be transported vast distances via oceanic petroleum platforms, ship hulls and ballast water and therefore may be good indicators of bioinvasion. Usually non indigenous species (NIS) are abundant in harbors. This is caused in part because of the higher propagule delivery rate in these areas. An

7. Ecology, virulence factors and diversity of Escherichia coli isolated from ballast water, ports areas and bivalves samples in Brazil. / Ecologia, fatores associados à virulência e diversidade de Escherichia coli isolados de amostras de água de lastro, água de regiões portuárias e moluscos bivalves no Brasil.
Escherichia coli was isolated from ballast water, port areas water and bivalves samples. 49.6% (164/331) had multiple antibiotics resistant varied from 2 to 8 antibiotics. From seven virulence associated factors investigated: heat stable toxin (ST), heat labile toxin (LT), aggregative adhesion (EAEC), invasion factor (INV), Shiga-like I toxin (STx-1), Shiga-

8. Caracterização de Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus e V. vulnificus em amostras da região costeira do estado de São Paulo, de regiões portuárias brasileiras e de tanques de lastro de navios. / Characterization of Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus in samples from the coastal region of São Paulo state, Brazilian ports and ship ballast tanks.
A poluição, alteração física do habitat e a introdução de espécies invasoras via água de lastro, representam os maiores impactos antropogênicos para os ambientes costeiros. Foram pesquisadas em amostras da região costeira de S. Paulo, regiões portuárias brasileiras e de tanques de lastro de navios, bactérias das espécies Vibrio cholerae (Vc),

9. ProposiÃÃo do uso de indicadores ambientais na avaliaÃÃo de desempenho de portos brasileiros
This work aims to demonstrate the possibility of inclusion of environmental indicators in the Current Port Performance System (SDP) used to evaluate the Brazilian ports. The environmental indicators are very important because of the scope of the environmental issue and, when used properly, can be effective in preventing impacts to the environment. In port ma

10. Ballast water: a review of the impact on the world public health
Since the nineteenth century ships have been using ballast water (BW) for safety, stability, propulsion and maneuverability, as well as to redress loss of fuel weight and water consumption, and to maintain structural stress at acceptable levels. Ballast water has been spreading many non-native species around the globe, but little is known about the extent an

11. O Porto do Rio de Janeiro sob o enfoque da água de lastro / Ballast water in Rio de Janeiro port
A introdução de espécies exóticas nos ecossistemas marinhos, estuarinos e de água doce já é realidade em muitos locais do globo. Apesar de existirem diferentes mecanismos de dispersão de espécies exóticas, que variam tanto espacialmente quanto temporalmente, o movimento global da água de lastro é o vetor de transferência mais importante na atual

12. Avaliação do risco de introdução de espécies exóticas no porto de Itajaí e entorno por meio de água de lastro
The Port of Itajaí is the Brazils second largest port in container movement and export, which characterizes it as a ballast water receiver, being this one of the main vectors for the introduction of exotic species. The present work presents an estimate of the volume unballasted in Itajaí, its origin, and an analysis of risk of the supplying ports of the ba
