[at the author's comp, File Name: Danbio 4] Abstract: a new aspect of the
ecological hazard due to environmental pollution - at a relatively low sublethal
concentration of a pollutant – was discovered in this study. The pellet excretion
by the mollusks - gastropods Lymnaea stagnalis - feeding on the phytomass of
macrophytes (such as the aquatic plant Nuphar lutea) was as high as 4–7 mg dry
weight per 1 gram wet weight of the mollusks per 72 h. Pellet sedimentation
contribute to vertical transfer of chemical elements in the ecosystem. The pellet
composition depended on the species of the plants eaten by the mollusks. When
the gastropods L. stagnalis feed on N. lutea, the pellets contain, in addition to
organic and inorganic carbon, nitrogen (N, 2.3–2.9%), phosphorus (P, 0.4–0.5%),
and silicon (Si, 1.1–1.9%). The relative silicon content may be 30% higher than in
the food phytomass. The surfactant tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide
(TDTMA, 2 mg/L) inhibited the feeding rate of the mollusks and pellet production,
their accumulation at the bottom of microcosms, and the matter transfer connected
with this. The data obtained demonstrated a new aspect of the ecological hazard
due to environmental pollution with TDTMA and other quaternary ammonium
compounds at sublethal concentrations. According to the author’s opinion and
prediction, other contaminants may also suppress pellet production, their
accumulation at the bottom, and the matter transfer associated with that.

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,

=en ; [File Name: Danbio2] Abstract: The author discovered and characterized a
new type of ecological hazard of chemical pollution of water, which involves
inhibition of important processes of ecological remediation of ecosystems (water
filtration by aquatic bivalves). Experiments were performed using mollusks
(oysters), Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, and a cell suspension of Saccharomyces
cerevisiae. The cell suspension was a model of suspended matter in aquatic
ecosystem. Laundry detergent Lanza-Automat inhibited water filtration by oysters
(Crassostrea gigas). As a result, the removal of the cells (Saccharomyces
cerevisiae) from water was inhibited. This demonstrated a new type of ecological
hazard caused by water pollution with chemical pollutants at sublethal
concentrations. This hazard is associated with the fact that chemical pollution of
water causes inhibition of the physiological activity of filter-feeders, thereby
inhibiting the important ecological processes of water filtration. These ecological
processes contribute significantly to improving water quality, water purification and
the related remediation of aquatic ecosystems (their ecological repair). ---

ABSTRACT. A new fundamental concept of the role of biota in the functioning of

aquatic ecosystems is proposed. According to that concept, the complex of aquatic
organisms (aquatic biota) is a central, labile and potentially vulnerable component
of the water self-purification system in aquatic ecosystems. This fundamental
concept leads to substantial changes in the hierarchy of priorities for protection of
biodiversity and environment. According to the concept suggested in this work, the
maximum allowable concentrations (MACs) for specific substances should be
established after taking into account the possible effects of pollutants on the water
self-purification system. Possible effects on many organisms, including filter
feeders, should be taken into consideration. Both inhibiting and stimulating effects
of sublethal concentrations of pollutants are dangerous, because either of them
may cause an imbalance in the complicated system of water self-purification. The
fundamental concept suggested in this work heightens the level of priority of the
sublethal effects of pollutants. The sublethal effects leading to changes in the
functional activity of populations of aquatic organisms may cause an imbalance in
the system of water self-purification. ---http://scipeople.ru/users/2943391/;
