Abstract
A method of controlling target aquatic microorganism pest populations by exposing the target population to a toxic amount of an aquacidal compound comprising an anthraquinone. The method is particularly effective for treating ballast water of ships or other enclosed volumes of water subject to transport between or among geographic areas to control the relocation of plants, toxic bacteria, and animals contained in the water.
