Data expression

Canada 1 (MacIsaac et al.
2002 )

Estimate risk associated
with NOBOB b vessels
entering the Great Lakes

Species based tolerance, and taxa
concentrations for NOBOB vessels

Quantitative Journey survival of target

species

Finland (Pienimäki and
Leppäkoski 2004 ;
Leppäkoski et al. 2005 ;
Paavola et al. 2005 )

Create baseline knowledge
on the risks associated with
NIS and shipping

Environmental matching between donor
and recipient localities

Qualitative Vector and establishment

potential assessment

Slovenia 2 (David 2007 ) Vessel-to-vessel (tank)

assessment for BWM
measures supported by DSS

Environmental matching between donor
and recipient localities (bioregions) and
species specifi c (inside bioregion)

Quantitative and
qualitative

Identify and rank high and
low risk donor ports and
identify high risk species

EMBLA (for Croatia)
(Dragsund 2005 )

Recommend ballast water
management plan for
Croatia

Locality based and species tolerances Qualitative Hazard assessment

Canada 2 (MacIsaac et al.
2004 )

Review and develop a
ballast water RA framework

Target species (gravity model, i.e., rates
and patterns of colonization)

Quantitative Colonization prediction of

target species

Enhanced after David ( 2007 )
