ABSTRACT: Ostroumov S.A. On the biotic self-purification of aquatic ecosystems: elements of the theory. - Doklady Biological Sciences, V. 396, 2004, p. 206–211. (Translated from the journal paper in a Russian scientific journal, peer reviewed, the reference: DAN, V.396, No.1, 2004, p.136–141). Fundamental elements are formulated for a new qualitative theory of the multi-functional ( polyfunctional) role of the biota (organisms, biological community) in improving water quality and doing self-purification of water in aquatic ecosystems. The elements of the theory covers the following: sources of energy for the mechanisms of water self-purification; the main functional blocks of the system of self-purification; the system of the main processes that are involved; the analysis of the degree of participation of the main large taxa of organisms; the reliability of the mechanisms of water self-purification; regulation of the processes; the response of the mechanisms of water self-purification towards the external influences (man-made impacts, pollution); and some conclusions relevant to the practice of environment protection. In support of the theory, the results are given of the author's experiments which demonstrated the ability of some pollutants (surfactants, detergents, and some others) to inhibit the water filtration activity of marine filter-feeders, namely, the bivalve mollusks marine mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, Mytilus edulis, and oysters Crassostrea gigas. A series of more recent publications of this author, and other authors as well, have confirmed the conclusions of this paper. ISSN0012-4966 (Print) 1608-3105 (Online).
