This paper presents a new conceptualization of how almost all species of biodiversity of the aquatic organisms functions together toward up-grading water quality. A new theory of water self-purification by aquatic (freshwater, marine) ecosystems was presented in this paper. Among the issues that were covered: (1)The biotic community as a mechanism of water self-purification processes. (2) Water pollution with sublethal concentrations of synthetic surfactants of various classes can inhibit biofiltration in ecosystems, thereby giving rise to additional aspects of ecological hazards. (3) New experimental evidence of the vulnerability of the activity of filter-feeders to some chemicals/xenobiotics/pollutants. (4) Innovative analysis of the filtration of water by filter-feeders, which has a serious conditioning effect on aquatic ecosystems.
