“…Según Wonham et al (2001) y Gollasch (2002), la bioincrustación de animales en los cascos de los barcos y el transporte de los animales en el agua de lastre son reconocidos como los principales vectores para la introducción inadvertida (indeseada) de muchos organismos bentónicos de aguas costeras. Esta acción puede causar alteraciones irreversibles a las comunidades de este ambiente, pues la velocidad con la cual un hábitat puede ser alterado es relacionada a la estabilidad y resiliencia del ecosistema y el impacto se puede dar en diferentes escalas de espacio y de tiempo (Wallentinus & Nyberg 2007).…”

. 2009. Vertical zonation of the hard substrata macrofauna of the Massangana River estuary, Suape Bay (Pernambuco, Brazil). Biota Neotrop. 9(1): http://www.biotaneotropica. org.br/v9n1/en/abstract?article+bn01609012009. Abstract:The estuarine area of the Massangana River (Pernambuco, Brazil) undergoes several kinds of interventions as a result of the activities of the Suape Industrial and Harbor Complex, which could affect local biotic communities. Thus, this study aimed to verify the composition of the benthic macrofauna of hard substrates regarding their vertical distribution in order to support the future biomonitoring of possible changes in this complex. The invertebrates found in an area of 519 m 2 were collected and their distribution on the biogenic and abiogenic substrates was described. A total of 79 species were found, primarily in the mangroves and distributed in three intertidal zones: a Chthamaletum, which comprised the intertidal and upper shore, the balanid zone, with barnacles and oysters in the mid intertidal, and the Bostrychietum, in the lowest region. In general, this matched the Brazilian and international vertical distribution patterns for mangrove invertebrates. The presence of rocky substrate and the area's high salinity made possible the occurrence of 28 species-including the coral Siderastrea stellata -in an estuarine area. The enlarged distribution of the bivalve Isognomon alatus, the barnacle Amphibalanus reticulatus, and the bryozoans Biflustra savartii, Bowerbankia gracilis, and Conopeum reticulum on the Brazilian coast can be explained by the proximity to the Port of Suape, which allows for passive transportation on ships. The scattered distribution of the fouling organisms among the substrates and the absence of characteristic animals of this ecosystem (such as the mussels) suggest that the environment is already undergoing some stress due to the diverse human interventions occurring in this area. Keywords: spatial distribution, macrobenthos, mangrove, biodiversity, Northeast Brazil. Resumen: El área estuarina del río Massangana (Pernambuco, Brasil) está sujeta a diversas intervenciones antropomórficas resultantes de las actividades del Complejo Industrial y Portuario de Suape, que pueden afectar las comunidades bióticas. Con esa perspectiva, este estudio tuvo como finalidad verificar la composición de la macrofauna bentónica de los sustratos sólidos, en su gradiente de distribución vertical, que sirva de referencia para futuros monitoreos biológicos relacionados a los cambios que pueden ocurrir en el complejo portuario. Se colectaron los invertebrados presentes en un área de 519 m 2 y su distribución en los sustratos biogénicos y abiogénicos es mostrada en el siguiente trabajo. Fueron encontradas 79 especies presentes principalmente en los mangles y distribuidas en tres zonas del intermareal: Chthamaletum, delimitando el supralitoral, "zona balanoide", conteniendo cirripedios y ostras, en la región intermareal media, y el Bostrychietum, en la región inferior. Esta distribución co...

“…A recent and widespread vector management effort currently underway in marine systems is open-ocean ballast water exchange. By discharging coastal water (and associated organisms) from ballast tanks during ballast exchange and replacing it with oceanic water, the risk of species transfers from this vector can be reduced (e.g., IMO, 1991;Wonham et al, 2001;Minton et al, 2005;McCollin et al, 2007). Similarly, antifouling paints and hull husbandry reduce vessel biofouling transfers (Callow and Callow, 2002;Coutts and Taylor, 2004).…”

“…Most ballast water sampling programs also showed the occurrence of non-indigenous, harmful and/or pathogenic organisms, including human pathogens [2,3,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Estimations result in approximately 2.2 [19] to 12 billion tonnes of ballast water being transported across the world oceans annually [20], transferring some 7,000 species in ballast water daily [21].…”

“…The variability of organism type, size and behaviour; the complexity of physical and chemical characteristics in ballast water and sediments imposes the use of a variety of sampling methods [3,7,14,[16][17][18][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”
