It may be helpful to those who write papers or dissertations on the following subjects:water resources,limnology,biological oceanography,aquatic ecology,marine ecology, freshwater ecology,aquatic biodiversity,aquatic bioresources, aquaculture,hydrobiology, etc.A number of books and papers were published [ 1- 42] which enables the reader to use some new factsand ideas, with attention to the following issues.1.
Natural mechanisms and processes of maintaining water quality
, both in freshwater and marineecosystems. This is relevant to sustainability of water resources, bioresources, ecosystem's services,maintaining habitats for aquatic organisms including organisms involved in aquaculture.The list of processes involved in maintaining and improving water quality was presented in thepublications [4, 5, 7, 29]. The sum of these processes is called water self-purification [4, 5, 7, 29].2.
Pelagial-benthic coupling
. This is a link between pelagial zone and benthic habitats at the bottom. Ii ismediated by pellets of filter-feeders. In the paper [ 21], a new aspect of this coupling was discovered. Itis in this paper that it was shown that this coupling is under hazard in case water is polluted with somepollutants - such chemicals as detergents and surfactants (surface-active agents, tensides).3.
A new approach to eutrophication
was formulated in the paper [ 13] , in terms of both understandingthe mechanisms of eutrophication and control of eutrophication. A new factor that contributes toeutrophication was discovered [13 ].
4.
A new factor that may trigger algal blooms
and/or aggravate the blooms that were induced bynutrient (nitrogen, phosphorus). In the paper [ 18 ], it was the first time that a new factor contributingto algal bloom was named. This factor is a decrease in control of algal populations - a decrease thatcould be a result of water pollution by surfactants, detergents and possibly some other pollutants.Some detergent mixtures could be especially bad because of their dual action: first, the action of phosphorus or nitrogen-containing compounds as nutrients to algae; 2) the action of surfactants onfilter-feeders that control the abundance of algae.The negative effect of surfactants on filter-feeders was shown in case of benthic filter-feeders [2-5, 17,34], and in case of planktonic filter-feeders as well [39, 41].5.
A new rationale to support aquatic biodiversity conservation
. In the papers [4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 22, 29] itwas demonstrated and underlined that practically all aquatic biodiversity is involved in improving waterquality and water self-purification.6.
A new simple and modern definition of ecosystem
. The term ‘ecosystem’ is of fundamental
importance in environmental and ecological sciences. The definitions of this term are sometimeoutdated, vague, or contradictory, or are based on using other vague or non-defined scientific terms. Anew definition was given in the publication [28], which is free of those shortcomings.A brief summary of
innovations in the series of other recent publications
in the areas of ecology,environmental science, biology, ecotoxicology is given at the site:http://www.scribd.com/doc/59437439/;Those who are involved not only in research but also in teaching may be interested: some other aspectsof how the publications by the same author are useful in developing lecture courses syllabi are given inthe publications [43, 44].Scholars of over 200 institutions worldwide have cited the publications mentioned above: the list of theinstitutions: www.scribd.com/doc/60225505/.

An Amphiphilic Substance Inhibits the Mollusk Capacity to Filter outPhytoplankton Cells from Water; [Biology Bulletin. v.28, No.1; pp.95-102. http://b23.ru/nbkq;www.springerlink.com/index/l665628020163255.pdf;The effect of synthetic anionic surface active substance (SAS) sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS, 4 mg/l) on thekinetics of water filtration by mussel Mytilus edulis was studied. A suspension of algae Isochrysisgalbana was added to the vessel with the mussels, and their filtration activity was measured by countingthe concentration of the algae cells in the experimental vessels. Algae concentration was measuredevery 30 min for an hour and a half. The inhibiting effect on the mollusk filtration rate (FR) wasqualitatively described. After the first 30 min filtration at 4 mg/l initial SDS concentration, the celldensity was 322% of the control. The inhibiting effect was observed later as well. Due to FR inhibition inthe vessels with the above specified initial SDS concentration, the algae cell density was 6.4 and 14.7
times that of the control after 1 and 1.5 h, respectively. Thus, SAS SDS can decrease the natural capacityof aquatic ecosystems for self-purification and disturb other aspects of ecosystem functioning throughinhibiting the filtration activity of mussels. The obtained data are discussed in the context of environment and hydrosphere protection from pollution.3.
