It is especially important for aquatic ecosystems. Phytoplankton grazers contribute to the top-down control of phytoplankton populations. The paper is focused on the role of benthic filter feeders in the control of plankton populations as a result of water filtering and the removal of cells of plankton from the water column. New data on the inhibitory effects of surfactants and detergents on benthic filter-feeders (Unio tumidus, U. pictorum, Mytilus galloprovincialis, M. edulis, and Crassostrea gigas) are presented and discussed. Importance and efficiency of that approach to the problems of eutrophication and water self-purification is pointed out. Chemical pollution may pose a threat to the natural top-down control of phytoplankton and water self-purification process. The latter is considered an important prerequisite for sustainable use of aquatic resources.

; Ostroumov S. A. Biodiversity protection and quality of water: the role of feedbacks in ecosystems. - Doklady Biological Sciences. 2002 (January). Volume 382, Numbers 1- 6, p. 18-21. Presented by Academician D.S. Pavlov, ABSTRACT: New conceptualization: the article presents a new vision of how biodiversity helps towards better stability and water quality. The author made an innovative analysis of his experimental data and formulated the following suggestion: to maintain water quality, it is vital to protect the functionally active biodiversity of water ecosystems. In other words, according to his vision, the protection of functionally active biodiversity, including filter-feeders, is a key to maintenance of water quality. Among new facts that were found by the author and presented in the paper: the detergent IXI 20 mg/L inhibited water filtration by marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis (3-25 min, 18 pro mille, 22.8ºC); the detergent Deni-Automat 30 mg/L also inhibited the water filtration by oysters Crassostrea gigas Thunberg (2-40 min, 25.2ºC).].

This book is on some contemporary issues of ecology, pollution of aquatic environment, and man-made impact of a relatively poorly studied group of chemical pollutants, detergents. The book was entitled: Biological Effects of Surfactants; Some more detail about the book see at: http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/4528_EcotoxicologyDetergents; http://www.scribd.com/doc/44432486; The first series of frequently asked questions (FAQ) was answered in another post.

[About the book, Biological Effects of Surfactants]; Question: which new aspects of environmental hazards from chemicals were identified in the book and other concomitant publications of the same author (S.A. Ostroumov)? Answer: One of the new types of environmental hazards from chemical pollution was identified in the book and in some other publications of the same author. This hazard is a risk of damage to natural processes of ecological remediation. Those processes lead to water self-purification in natural aquatic ecosystems (both freshwater and marine aquatic ecosystems). We published a special paper that is focused on this issue. See: Ostroumov S.A. Identification of a new type of ecological hazard of chemicals: inhibition of processes of ecological remediation. Doklady Biological Sciences. 2002. 385: 377-379. In Eng.; ISSN 0012-4966.

Using chemicals that act as inhibitors of activities of enzymes was very productive in biochemistry. Is it possible to use chemicals that inhibit functions of organisms in ecosystems in order to get more information on ecological mechanisms? Answer: yes, it is possible, and it was shown both in the book and in a special paper of the same author. The function inhibited was water filtration by freshwater and marine bivalves. The chemicals that inhibited this function were surfactants and detergents. See the paper:
** Inhibitory analysis of regulatory interactions in trophic webs.- Doklady Biological Sciences, 2001, Vol. 377, p. 139–141. (Translated from Doklady Akademii Nauk, 2000, Vol. 375, No. 6, p. 847–849). Full text: http://www.scribd.com/doc/45911405: 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 top–down control of plankton by benthic filter-feeders. This control, as the author’s 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 galloprovin
