Innovative component of this paper and the author's new conceptualization:
A new idea: the author suggests a new component of the measures against eutrophication: reducing the input of the pollutants that weaken the potential of the filter-feeders for removing algae. A new approach to combat eutrophication.
According to the author, in healthy ecosystems the activity of filter-feeders (who remove phytoplankton from water column) is high enough to keep the level (the abundance ) of phytoplankton under control. As soon as some pollutants that enter the aquatic medium decrease the filtration rate of filter-feeders, the rate of removal of phtoplankton also decreases. As a result, the level of phytoplankton increases. The increase in phytoplankton may reach the level that create the eutrophication of the aquatic ecosystem. Of course, it is not a sole reason for eutrophication. However this factor may contribute to a degree.
On this reason, the information on whether man-made chemical pollutants can decrease the filtration rate of filter-feeders is very important. The author reports new data on how synthetic chemicals (surfactants) decrease the filtration rate of bivalves. In a series of his other publications, he reported similar data.
Among new facts discovered and reported in this paper: the liquid detergent Fairy 2 mg/L inhibited water filtration by bivalve filter-feeders, mollusks within 2-23 min after addition.
This fact complemented a large amount of similar facts discovered by this author. In sum, they made him formulate his new theory on the factors contributing to eutrophication, and on how to combat eutrophication.
