  • Abstract: The study of water self-purification processes (Skurlatov, 1988; Ostroumov, 2000a) is essential for approaching fundamental ecological problems (Alimov, 2000; Ostroumov et al., 2003) and for resolving some applied issues related to the sustainable use of aquatic and biological resources. The purpose of this paper is to give a systematic account of the concepts concerning the multiple functions of the biota in the self-purification of water bodies and watercourses, without attempting to review the numerous publications in this field. In this paper, a paradigm shift was made and some new principles of the theory of the ecological mechanism of water self-purification based on multiple functions of the biota in freshwater and marine ecosystems were formulated. In developing this theory, the results of the author’s experiments with aquatic organisms (filter-feeders) have been used. As a result, the author discovered that the natural ecological mechanism which maintains water quality (water self-purification mechanism) is vulnerable to the impact of some pollutants as exemplified by synthetic detergents and surfactants. NEW FACTS: New negative effects of water pollution by heavy metals (copper, lead, cadmium), detergents and surfactants on marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis. Inhibition of water filtration by these bivalve mollusks under effect of the chemicals listed above. Conclusions drawn on the basis of the theory have practical significance for biodiversity conservation and for the sustainable use of the biological resources of aquatic ecosystems. 1067-4136/05/3606-0414 © 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
