Well lets see. The zebra muscels were introduced to the great lakes because of ships filling up with water to balence them. they would fill up in one place of the world and then dump it when they has a full load and didnt need them that is how they got here. Thats just a fun fact...
It would contribute to excesive population growth of zebra muscles
it would contribute to the decline in other muscle species
now what of the last two do you think it is...i know the answer and i will correct you.

snuggielad · Answer

btw..that is called ballast tanks...they fill up to balence it then they dumb when they have a full load to ship. ships can be so boyant they will pop right out of the water, thats why they need the ballast tankes till they can get enough weight to float without them
