NATURE CONSERVATION AND BIODIVERSITY PROTECTION IN AQUATIC HABITATS: DEVELOPING A NEW SYSTEM OF PRINCIPLES
2015
Ostroumov Sergei Andreevich
A new aspect of conservation biology and protection of environment was revisited and analyzed in this article. A new system of principles to protect aquatic habitats and biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems (water bodies and streams) was formulated. In the article, it is proposed to establish a special type of reserves. The author named these reserves malacological or hydrobiological reserves. One of the main functions of the malacological or hydrobiological reserves is to protect the healthy level of function of aquatic organisms toward water self-purification. To do so, it is necessary to maintain the healthy level of function of many populations of aquatic organisms, including filter-feeders.
