Abstract:
A ballast water monitoring device and a method for detecting live phytoplankton are disclosed. The device comprises a chamber for receiving a sample, at least one light source to emit light towards the sample, a light detector to receive light from the sample and generate a light signal, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the at least one light source to emit a single pulse of light, calculate the variable fluorescence [Fv] of the sample in response to the pulse of light, at time intervals less than the duration of the pulse of light, compare the calculated variable fluorescence to a predetermined reference limit, and perform an action if the calculated variable fluorescence is greater than the predetermined reference limit.

Claim (Index 12):
The ballast water monitoring device according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one light source is configured to emit light having a wavelength of one of about 450 nm, 470 nm, 530 nm and 624 nm, wherein when there are a plurality of light sources, the plurality of light sources are configured to emit light having wavelengths of at least two of about 450 nm, 470 nm, 530 nm and 624 nm simultaneously.
