Abstract:

New concept of biological community and ecological role of aquatic organisms is proposed. It is the first paper to analyze the complex and multi-faceted function of aquatic organisms (aquatic biota) in the key function of water ecosystem, namely, its fuction in maintaining and improvement of water quality. This vital function is named water self-purification. The author conducted new experiments that discovered the vulnerability of this vital function to chemical pollutants (exemplified by synthetic surfactants and detergents). Review. Opinion paper.
