Text of the comment:
Features of this paper on aquatic ecology are as follows (http://5bio5.blogspot.com/2013/09/some-aspects-of-water-filtering.html):
-New concepts and terminology were introduced in the paper: ecological tax; ecological repair of water quality;
-a unique review of the ecological role of filter-feeders, suspension feeders in water (both  freshwater and marine) ecosystems, a   first paper to formulate a short  list of the most vital roles and functions as ecosystem engineers;
-unique summary of quantitative data on filtration activity of invertebrates;
-detailed, unique, fresh-angle analysis of how filter-feeders contribute to water quality improvement and water self-purification;
-new, deeper understanding of ecosystem services as related to filter-feeders;

The conclusions of the paper are valuable to those who consider both freshwater and marine ecosystems. It is not surprizing that the paper was cited by scientists of the countries as diverse as U.S.A., U.K., Australia, and Kuwait.

The paper is an excellent review of the topic.
Moreover, it is much more than just a review. The paper is ahead of its time, it provides many new insights into function of aquatic ecosystems. The paper for many years will be very helpful to all who are interested in deeper understanding of issues of aquatic ecology, aquatic environment, water quality, aquatic toxicology, environmental toxicology. It will be of interest to professional scientists, professors, and graduate students.
