It is the first opinion paper and review paper in which a multi-aspect innovative analysis of the ecological role of organisms that filter water was made. In a fuller form than it was done before, it formulated and commented a list of functions and mechanisms which form and improve water quality. A unique feature of this publication is that it embraces both freshwater and marine aquatic ecosystems.
