Abstract

In July 2001, Australia introduced a risk-based Decision Support System (DSS) to manage ballast water on international shipping. Up until now, however, the accuracy of the risk assessments made by the DSS have never been evaluated or tested. It was not until the DSS was considered as a mechanism to assist the management of domestically sourced ballast water, coupled with advances in genetic technologies, that the opportunity arose to evaluate the accuracy of the predictions of the DSS. The results of that evaluation are reported here...
