Nonnative and unwanted species, such as toxic dinoflagellates and pathogenic V. cholerae, are transported with ships’ ballast water. Some of these species have become successfully established and are reproducing in the new environments. Prevention of invasive exotic marine organisms is very important for the conservation of biodiversity as well as the reduction of economic damage to fisheries and industries.
