... The transportation of invading species to new habitats with ship's ballast water, one of the crucial threats to marine life, is the issue that has been emphasized due to the dramatic increase observed in recent years (Canning-Clode and Carlton, 2017;GESAMP, 2019). Ballast water management (David and Gollasch, 2018;Liu et al., 2019;Scriven et al., 2015), the ballast water sampling process (Gollasch and David, 2017), the differences in the content of ballast water between the intake and discharge (Gollasch and David, 2021;Tolian et al., 2020), risk assessment of ships caused by ballast water Cheng et al., 2019) are the subjects studied in recent years. To prevent risks caused by ballast water, nowadays, physical-mechanical techniques (filtration, hydrodynamic cavitation, cyclonic separation, ultrasonication, heat treatment, UV treatment, electro-ionization, magnetic separation) and chemical techniques (oxidizing biocide producing, chlorine biocide, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, strong ionization discharge, deoxygenation, paraclete biocide, electro chlorination, and electrochemical treatment) are applied on board (Lakshmi et al., 2021;Sayinli et al., 2022). ...
