Successful Establishment

Microfossil analysis of sediment cores collected in 1994 and phytoplankton collected in 1998 from Lake Ontario indicated that the diatom Thalassiosira baltica (Grunow) Ostenfeld was introduced and became established ca. 1988 according to 210Pb date estimates and has remained a predominant component of the phytoplankton since its establishment. Thalassiosira baltica is an exotic species in the Laurentian Great Lakes and is more commonly found in coastal brackish waters in western and northern Europe and only rarely reported from North American coastal waters. The probable vector for introduction of T. baltica was ballast water exchange and the successful establishment attributed to this taxon's euryhalinity tolerance.

Ecological Problems

Nonindigenous species (NIS) cause substantial economic and ecological problems in the United States and other countries with marine trade. Current legislation and regulations require mandatory ballast water exchange for those ships entering the Great Lakes. Due to the low compliance rate, and some inherent defects of legislation, the current status of NIS control is not very encouraging. Several technical and legislative options have been proposed to improve the efficiency of NIS control. The most promising methods include filtration with ultraviolet, heat, and ballast water exchange. No one method, however, can 100% effectively solve the NIS problem. Moreover, the mandatory requirements may induce modal shifts from marine to rail or truck mode on the Great Lakes, which may cause several adverse side effects on the economy and the environment. The decision problems for the cargo owners and the legislative body are also formulated.
