Assessing ballast treatment standards for effect on rate of establishment using a stochastic model of the green crab

This paper describes a stochastic model used to characterize the probability/risk of NIS establishment from ships' ballast water discharges. Establishment is defined as the existence of a sufficient number of individuals of a species to provide for a sustained population of the organism. The in...
