Common mussel (Mytilus edulis):
**
Abstract: In 2006, a
paper was published that reported
experiments that showed that all three main kinds of synthetic surfactants
(detergent chemicals, surface-active substances) including cationic, anionic,
and non-ionogenic surfactants slow down the filtration of water by marine bivalve
mollusks (Ostroumov, Widdows, 2006). The
bivalve mollusks studied in this work were the blue mussels of Atlantic Ocean,
the Latin name of the mollusks Mytilus
edulis (Ostroumov, Widdows, 2006). This important and innovative
publication was a result of a joint project that was carried out by the
scientists of Moscow State University (Russian Federation) and Plymouth Marine
Laboratory (United Kingdom).

New facts
on how detergents slow down the filtration of water by aquatic organisms
(bivalve mussels, oysters and others):
The first
publication in which a concise presentation is given of the author’s theory of
water self-purification. A short list of physical, chemical, and biological
processes of water self-purification is given. One of the conclusions is:
‘living organisms are the core component of the multitude of processes of the
ecological machinery working towards improving water quality’.
Innovative
and multifaceted conceptualization of how almost all aquatic organisms
(biological community) work together toward making water clear and clean:
