- The article presents a new fundamental concept of how biodiversity helps towards a better environmental stability and water quality. The author made an innovative analysis of his experimental data and formulated the following fundamental principle: to maintain water quality, it is vital to protect the functionally active biodiversity of water ecosystems. In other words, according to the author’s new concept, the protection of functionally active biodiversity, including filter-feeders, is a key to maintenance of water quality. This concept was supported by many facts obtained in experiments of the author and reported in his previous publications. This article presents new facts in support of his concepts. Among new facts obtained and reported in the paper: a chemical pollutant (exemplified by the synthetic detergent IXI, at a sublethal concentration 20 mg/L) inhibited water filtration by the aquatic bivalve mollusks, marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (3-25 min, 18 pro mille, 22.8ºC). Another synthetic detergent (exemplified by the laundry detergent Deni-Automat), at a sublethal concentration 30 mg/L, also inhibited the water filtration by the marine bivalves oysters Crassostrea gigas (2-40 min, 25.2ºC).]. These new data as well as the other related data obtained by the same author and reported in his other publications, supported the author’s fundamental concept.
