Principles of the theory of the ecological mechanism of water self-purification based on multiple functions of the biota in freshwater and marine ecosystems are formulated. In developing this theory, the results of the author's experiments with filter-feeders have been used. These results indicate that the water self-purification mechanism is vulnerable to the impact of some pollutants and, in particular, surfactants. Conclusions drawn on the

Fundamentally new approach to principles of conservation of biodiversity is proposed in this paper. The author suggested establishing a new type of protected areas whose main purpose is to protect functionally active populations of filter-feeders, including bivalves and other organisms. Those protected areas could be named hydrobiological (some variants: biofiltering, or malacological) reserves (some variants: refuges, sanctuaries, etc.). The author formulated 5 principles of nature conservation requirements in malacological and hydrobiological reserves. Among them is principle 2, "conservation of filtration activity of organisms and populations".

It is the first time some toxic effects of sodium dodecyl sulphate on the aquatic macrophyte Potamogeton crispus L. were found and described Microcosms with the macrophytes were studied in laboratory experiments. The effects of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) on macrophytes were studied. The survival and weight of the biomass of macrophytes in a prolonged incubation were recorded. SDS was added in the form of repeated (recurrent) additions. The increase in the amount of SDS after each addition was: 0,5, 0,8, 1,7, 8,3, 16,7, 50,0 and 100,0 mg in 1 dm3. Duration of survival of plants decreased with increasing amount of SDS in one addition. If the amount of SDS (after a single addition) increased 200 times (from 0.5 to 100 mg / l), the period of survival decreased 53-fold (from 372 up to 7 days). In the presence of SDS, a decrease in macrophyte biomass was observed. The degree of the reduction of biomass depended on the total amount of SDS added to the microcosms. Phytoremediation of

For the fist time, the phytotoxicity of a dish washing detergent to aquatic macrophytes was reported. The phytotoxic effects of the dish washing liquid detergent Amway Dish Drops on the viability of aquatic macrophytes Elodea canadensis in a microcosm were studied. After three days of the damaging effects of the detergent, the effect on the plants was observed at a concentration of Amway Dish Drops 300 mg / l and above. The damaging effects manifested as the reduction of the turgor pressure, resulting in the apical parts of shoots bent down (there was no shoots with apical parts growing upwards). With a more prolonged incubation (over 10 days), the damaging effects observed at lower concentrations of Amway Dish Drops: starting with the concentration of 200 mg / l and above. Experiments with nanoparticles were carried out in aquatic microcosms. This is the first time it is shown that the metal (Au) in significant amount bind to the living biomass of the aquatic macrophyte Ceratophyllum demersum. As a result of the binding and/or concentration, the amount of Au in the phytomass increased over the background level by the factor of 430. The amount of gold in the biomass was detected using neutron activation analysis (NAA).

. It is the first time that a new typology of the main types of matter in the biosphere is proposed. The author proposed a new conceptualization which is based on his suggestion to identify so called ex-living matter (ELM). The author discusses his experiments (together with his co-authors) which provide the factual foundation to this conceptualization, as well as other data available in literature. The main functions of ELM in the biosphere were also formulated and considered by the author. - ( ,

A new approach to monetary assessment of the ecological services of aquatic ecosystems

A new system of principles for protecting the biogeocenotic function and biodiversity of filter-feeders. The author suggested establishing a new type of protected areas whose main purpose is to protect functionally active populations of filterfeeders, including bivalves and other organisms. Those protected areas could be named hydrobiological (some variants: biofiltering, or malacological) reserves (some variants: refuges, sanctuaries, etc.). The author formulated 5 principles of nature conservation requirements in malacological and hydrobiological reserves (Tabl. 3). Among them is principle 2, "conservation of filtration activity of organisms and populations". The paper contains data on how 5 detergents (1-50 mg/L) inhibited the filtration activity of Unio tumidus, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Crassostrea gigas

Ecosystems and organisms were considered as two types of entities involved in life phenomena at two levels of organization of living systems. The parameters that were considered included: the main functions, the main prerequisites for those functions, discreteness and continuity in space, discreteness and continuity in time, the boundaries, the ability to control the physical and chemical parameters of the environment, the ability to decrease entropy in energydependent way, etc. Many new methods to study biological and toxic effects of surfactants and detergents; Many new methods and variants of methods to bioassay surfactants, detergents, pesticides, - using plant seedlings, bivalve mollusks, leeches,
Priority: the first systematic analysis, where the comparison and juxtaposition of parameters which characterize ecosystems and organisms was made.

the author suggested establishing a new type of protected areas whose main purpose is to protect functionally active populations of filter-feeders, including bivalves and other organisms. Those protected areas could be named hydrobiological (some variants: biofiltering, or malacological) reserves (some variants: refuges, sanctuaries, etc.). The author formulated 5 principles of nature conservation requirements in malacological and hydrobiological reserves (Tabl. 3). Among them is principle 2, "conservation of filtration activity of organisms and populations". The paper contains data on how 5 detergents (1-50 mg/L) inhibited the filtration activity of Unio tumidus, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Crassostrea gigas

The ecosystem as a bioreactor has the following characteristic attributes: (1) it is a large-scale (largevolume) bioreactor; (2) it is a diversified (in terms of the number of taxa and the scope of functional activities) bioreactor; (3) it possesses a broad range of biocatalytic (chemical-transforming and degrading) capabilities. New experimental data on xenobiotics - induced inhibition of the water filtration performed by the molluscs Unio tumidus, U. pictorum, M. galloprovincialis and inhibition of feeding by Limnaea stagnalis emphasized the potential ecological hazard from sublethal concentrations of pollutants (including those exemplified by synthetic surfactants and detergents). 45

Some basic elements of a new theory for the biological mechanism for water self-purification are presented. Hydrobionts (aquatic organisms) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Not only microorganisms (bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi), but also algae, plants, invertebrates, and many other groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. Results of the 46
author's experiments that study the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms (freshwater and marine bivalves) are given.

Abstract: A new set of ecological generalizations formulated in this paper represent, in a systematized form, the basic elements of the qualitative theory of biotic control of water quality and water self-purication in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The theory contributes to a better understanding of the issues of stability and regulation in the biosphere. The theory is supported by the results of the authors experimental studies of the effects exerted by surfactants, detergents and other pollutants on aquatic organisms. 31.

Abstract: In the paper, the author proposed a new approach to analyze the key ecological issue, the interactions between organisms in ecosystems. The new methodology proposed is inhibitory analysis. The author applied this approach to analyze trophic chains: the topdown control of plankton by benthic filter-feeders. This control, as the authors experiments have shown, might be removed by chemical inhibitors (the latter may enter the ecosystem as pollutants). As an example, the author gives the results of his experiments on how surfactants [tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA)], and synthetic detergents inhibited the control of plankton (algae Monochrystis lutheri) by marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis. The method was successfully applied to innovatively analyze the factors that are among reasons of eutrophication. Among new facts: the cationic surfactant TDTMA 1 mg/L inhibited the filtration rate of juveniles of marine bivalves Mytilus galloprovincialis, and the removal of cells of the algae Monochrysis lutheri from water (50 min, 26C)].

As a result of the authors studies of filter-feeders (DAN, 1998, Vol. 362, P. 574-576; DAN, 2001, Vol. 378, P. 283285), it is clear that the filtering activity of populations of filter-feeders in natural habitats might be significantly reduced if the concentrations of some pollutants reach certain levels. The role of filter-feeders as factors of water purification in ecosystems is so important that their inhibition is a danger for the entire ecosystem. The author emphasizes that not only the biodiversity of filter-feeders but also their level of functional (filtration) activity is to be protected. In order to do so, the author suggested establishing a new type of protected areas whose main purpose is to protect functionally active populations of filter-feeders, including bivalves and other organisms. Those protected areas could be named hydrobiological (some variants: biofiltering, or malacological) reserves (some variants: refuges, sanctuaries, etc.). The author formulated 5 principles of nature conservation requirements in malacological and hydrobiological reserves (Tabl. 3). Among them is principle 2, "conservation of filtration activity of organisms and populations". The paper contains data on how 5 detergents (1-50 mg/L) inhibited the filtration activity of Unio tumidus, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Crassostrea gigas (Tabl. 2); on effects on the efficiency of elimination (EEE) of suspended matter from water were measured (Tabl. 2); on the number of days (0.3 10) needed to filter the volume of aquatic (freshwater and marine) ecosystem by the local bivalves (a review of data from literature) (Tabl. 1). "I suggest that the existing system of protected terrestrial and water areas should be supplemented with special sites intended to conserve populations of filter-feeders. In addition to biodiversity conservation, these populations should be conserved because they fulfill a very important biogeocenotic function of water filtration and purification" (p.149). "The system of five principlesis proposed to provide an ecological basis of the environment conservation conditions at these sites (malacological and hydrobiological reserves)" (p.149).].

Discovery of a new type of negative impact of pollutants on the biosphere, as a result of inhibition of water filtration by filterfeeders / suspension feeders. The water filtration and associated removal of suspended matter from water is part of migration of matter. As V.I. Vernadsky stressed, organisms are mediators of biogenic migration of atoms in the biosphere. This migration is partly implemented in the framework of pelagial benthal coupling via the activity of filter-feeders, which remove the organic suspended matter from water and excrete pellets. The tables contains the following data: the average percentage of assimilated (16-90%) and non-assimilated (10-84%) food matter for 15 large taxa of invertebrates (Table 1); potassium bichromate inhibited water filtration by mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis (Table 2); surfactants, detergents, pesticides inhibited filtration by filterfeeders, marine and freshwater bivalves and rotifers (Table 3). A prediction was made: "Further research and experimental studies are expected to provide new evidence that sublethal concentrations of chemical pollutants induce a significant decrease in the filtration capacity of freshwater and marine filter feeders" (p.129). "The uncoupling process considered above is an anthropogenic violation of two basic laws (empirical rules or biogeochemical principles) of the biosphere functioning: (1) biogenic migration of atoms of chemical elements in the biosphere always tends toward its maximum expression; (2) on the geological time scale, the evolution of species gives rise to the forms of life that are stable in the biosphere, and is so directed that the biogenic migration of atoms in the biosphere increases" (p.129).]; DOI10.1023/A:1015385723150; https://www.researchgate.net/file.FileLoader.html? key=d988acb599e121964c48114374a87e8d;www.springerlink.com/index/28V23JBFADL1Y100.pdf; Full text: http://www.scribd.com/doc/45913695; ** Some aspects of water filtering activity of filter-feeders // Hydrobiologia. 2005.

The level-block approach to the analysis of ecological hazards of anthropogenic effects on the biota (the new conceptualization proposed by the author). Some fundamental principles that characterize the pivotal roles of the biodiversity of filter-feeders in ecosystems. Among those roles are: (1) the role of ecological repair of water quality, (2) the role of contributing to reliability and stability of the functioning of the ecosystem, (3) the role of contributing to creation of habitat heterogeneity, (4) the role of contributing to acceleration of migration of chemical elements. It is an important feature of

the biomachinery of filter-feeders that it removes from water various particles of a very broad range of sizes. Another important principle is that the amount of the organic matter filtered out of water is larger than the amount assimilated so that a significant part of the removed material serves no useful function to the organism of the filter-feeder, but serves a beneficial function to some other species and to the ecosystem as a whole. The new experiments by the author additionally demonstrated a vulnerability of the filtration activity of filter feeders (e.g. bivalves and rotifers) to some xenobiotics (tetradecyltrymethylammonium bromide, heavy metals and some others). The inhibition of the filtration activity of filter-feeders may lead to the situation previously described as that of an ecological impairment of the second type.

This is especially important in conditions of pollution of water bodies and water streams. Surfactants constitute an important class of pollutants. Therefore, further investigation and clarification of the facts concerning the interaction of plants and various surfactants are necessary. The present paper presents the results of investigations of the effect of various concentrations of aqueous solutions of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) on the viability of the aquatic macrophytes, the pondweed Potamogeton crispus L. When the effects of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate on the aquatic macrophytes Potamogeton crispus L. were studied, it was found that the concentrations of 83133 mg/l caused fragmentation of the stems of plants. The tolerance of the plants to the negative effects of the surfactant was higher in the spring (April) than in the autumn (September).
