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. The following issues and items were considered in the paper: feedbacks; Crassostrea gigas; oysters; Mytilus galloprovincialis; mussels; marine bivalves; filtration activity; inhibition; detergents; maintenance of water quality; water body; aquatic organisms; protection; water ecosystems; functionally active biodiversity; water quality; biological sciences; ecosystems; bivalves; laundry detergent IXI; laundry 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; Cirripedia; Echinodermata; Hemichorda; Euphausiida; Mysida; Decapoda; Macrura; Tunicata; Appendiculariae; Salpae; Pyrosomida; Benthal Protista; Ctenophora; attached ctenophors Tjalfiella; Spongia; benthos; Porifera; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Diptera; Trichoptera; mayflies; Hydrozoa; Actinozoa; Gorgonaria; Pennatularia; Actinaria; Metridium; Kamptozoa; Entoprocta; Phoronida; Sipunculida; Pterobranchia; Acrania; Gastropoda; Amphipoda; Corophiidae; Crinoidea; Ophiuroidea; Asteroidea; Brisingidae; Holothuroidea; Psolus; Ascidiae.
