Suspension-feeders are found in both pelagic and benthic systems. They function as an important part of an ecosystem's biomachinery that maintains water quality in aquatic systems. They remove suspended matter and excrete faeces, pseudofaeces and dissolved inorganic materials that contribute to nutrient cycling between the water column and the benthic habitats. Suspension-feeders are a key part of ...

The theory of the hydrobiological mechanism of water self-purification in water bodies: from theory to practice

Sergei A. Ostroumov New data on effects of chemicals (surfactants) on water filtration by aquatic invertebrates are reported. The basics of the new theory of the polyfunctional role of biota in self-purification of water in aquatic ecosystems (lakes, rivers, man-made reservoirs) are formulated. The theory covers the following: sources of energy for the mechanisms of self-purification; the main functional blocks ...

Studying effects of some surfactants and detergents on filter-feeding bivalves

S. A. Ostroumov Effects of several surfactants and chemical mixtures on marine bivalves were studied. An anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS), and a cationic surfactant, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TDTMA), inhibited the filtering activity of oysters (Crassostrea gigas). Similar effects were exhibited by some chemical mixtures that included surfactants. Those mixtures inhibited the filtering activity of Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus galloprovincialis. The new results are ...
