Ostroumov S. A. Biodiversity Protection and Quality of Water: The Role of Feedbacks in Ecosystems //Doklady Biological Sciences, Vol. 382, 2002, pp. 18–21. A new fundamental principle was proved in the paper: to maintain the water quality, it is necessary to protect the functionally active biodiversity of water ecosystems. In other words, protection of the functionally active biodiversity of aquatic organisms in a water body is a method (and an indispensable one) of maintenance of water quality in this ecosystem. Also, the author reports new experimental data on how detergents inhibited filtration activity of marine bivalves, mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, and oysters Crassostrea gigas. Presented to the journal by Academician D.S. Pavlov. Translated from Doklady Akademii Nauk, Vol. 382, No. 1, 2002, pp. 138–141. --Key words: feedbacks, ecosystems , biological sciences, water quality, functionally active biodiversity, water ecosystems, protection, aquatic organisms, water body, maintenance of water quality, detergents, inhibition, filtration activity, marine bivalves, mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, oysters, Crassostrea gigas, bivalves, detergent IXI, detergent Deni-Automat, aquaculture, mariculture, freshwater, marine water bodies, pelagial Protista, infusoria, heterotrophic Protista; Rotatoria; Coelenterata, Rhizistomida; Nemertini, plankton, Mastigophora; Polychaeta, Sipunculoidea, Phoronoidea, Brachiopoda, Bryozoa; larvae, nekton, Cladocera; Copepoda; Insecta; Pisces, molluscs, copepods, Copepoda; Cirripedia, Echinodermata; Hemichorda; Euphausiida; Mysida; Decapoda, Macrura; Tunicata, Appendiculariae; Salpae; Pyrosomida; Benthal Protista, Ctenophora, attached ctenophors Tjalfiella; Spongia, benthos, Mastigophora; Spongia, Porifera; Bryozoa; Mollusca , Bivalvia; Diptera; Trichoptera; mayflies , Porifera; Hydrozoa; Actinozoa, Gorgonaria, Pennatularia, Actinaria , Metridium; Brachiopoda; Kamptozoa, Entoprocta; Phoronida; Sipunculida; Pterobranchia; Acrania; Gastropoda; Amphipoda , Corophiidae; Crinoidea, Ophiuroidea, Asteroidea, Brisingidae, Holothuroidea , Psolus; Tunicata, Ascidiae The full text: http://scipeople.ru/users/2943391/ http://sites.google.com/site/ostroumovsergei/
