Japan, Jellyfish: Japanese problem. Russian solution.

**
Currently, there is a problem of excessive abundance of jellyfish in the seas around Japan.
As a result, the fishery industry in Japan suffers.
A series of publications of a Russian scientist provides a contribution to a solution to this problem.
Important group of aquatic organisms (including sea water-dwelling marine invertebrates) are the animals that got their food by filtering water. These organisms are so-called filter-feeders.
Important group of aquatic organisms (including sea water-dwelling marine invertebrates) are the animals that got their food by filtering water. These organisms are so-called filter-feeders.
The jellyfish are filter-feeders.
The series of publications of Dr. S.Ostroumov leads to a better insight into the ecology of filter-feeders. These publications may provide a key to practical solution of this urgent problem.
The lists of publications, bibliography and the related sites of Dr. S.O. are as following.
These are the sources of information on a number of innovative papers on filter-feeders:

About Dr S.Ostroumov’s publications on filter-feeders.
http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2012/07/about-dr-sostroumovs-publications-on.html
These papers demonstrated a number of ways of how the biota control and upgrade of water quality. The papers presented a lot of new data on how filter-feeders contribute greatly to water self-purification, to the well-being and health of ecosystems. This main thing in these papers is very important to understand stability of ecosystems and the biosphere. It is of great importance to sustainability and environmental safety.
The author of these papers published a number of publications (not only papers but also books) that support the same conclusions, the same vision of aquatic ecosystems.

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.
Among new facts discovered: the liquid detergent Fairy 2 mg/L inhibited water filtration by filter-feeders, within 2-23 min after addition.

25. It is the first paper in which it was clearly proved that the synthetic chemical, when it pollutes water, produces a dangerous effect on both marine mussels and phytoplankton: it decreases water filtration rate by the mussels, and the normal control of abundance of phytoplankton by the marine mussels, the control which is associated with the filtration of water.

The effect of synthetic anionic surface active substance (SAS) sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS, 4 mg/l) on the kinetics of water filtration by mussel Mytilus edulis was studied. A suspension of algae Isochrysis galbana was added to the vessel with the mussels, and their filtration activity was measured by counting the concentration of the algae cells in the experimental vessels. Algae concentration was measured every 30 min for an hour and a half. The inhibiting effect on the mollusk filtration rate (FR) was qualitatively described. After the first 30 min filtration at 4 mg/l initial SDS concentration, the cell density was 322% of the control. The inhibiting effect was observed later as well. Due to FR inhibition in the 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 capacity of aquatic ecosystems for self-purification and disturb other aspects of ecosystem functioning through inhibiting the filtration activity of mussels. The obtained data are discussed in the context of environment and hydrosphere protection from pollution.
