On the Fourth International Conference “Water Ecosystems and Organisms-4” S. A. Ostroumov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia

The Fourth International Conference (poster session) “Water Ecosystems and Organisms-4” took place in Moscow on June 19, 2002. The conference was organized under the aegis of several scientific organizations including the Hydrobiological Society at the RAS, the Inter-Departmental Ichthyological Commission, the International Society of Ecoetics, etc. The participants of the conference considered and discussed materials presented including presentations of scientists from Astrakhan, Vladivostok, Kishinev, Moscow, Sevastopol, and other regions of Russia and CIS, as well as colleagues from England, Spain, China, Germany, Singapore, the United States, and some other countries. Foreign participants presented their reports as posters and sent them by mail. The presented posters reflected modern advances in hydrobiology, water ecology, limnology, biological oceanography, sciences on the biosphere and environment, and also the problems of education in biology and the conservation of nature. More than 50 communications were presented. Complimentary addresses for the participants of the conference arrived from the President of the Hydrobiological Society, Academician of the RAS, A.F. Alimov and Dr. Steven McCutcheon (Environmental Protection Agency, USA). In the Resolution it was pointed out that the participants of the conference consider the experience of such a meeting to be useful and are thankful to the organizers (the scientific team of the Department of Hydrobiology, Moscow State University), the Organizing Committee (including scientists of the Department of Hydrobiology, Moscow State University) and sponsors for their activities. The Honorary Chairman of the Organizing Committee was Prof., D. Sci., V.D. Fedorov; the Chairman of the Organizing Committee and the Program Committee was D.Sci., S.A. Ostroumov. The CoChairmen of the Program Committee were Profs. Henri Dumont (Belgium), Otto Kinne (Germany), J. Widdows (Great Britain), and R. Wetzel (USA). A Resolution and the Recommendations of the Conference were accepted. A request was expressed to the Organizing Committee to forward the Recommendations to the RAS, the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, and other interested institutions and persons. The Advisory Committee of the Conference comprised representatives of scientific institutions from Russia, Ukraine,

Latvia, Estonia, Australia, Belgium, Brasilia, Germany, Netherlands, Egypt, Israel, Spain, China, Poland, Portugal, USA, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, and other countries and included A.F. Alimov, V.L. Kasyanov, S.V. Kotelevtsev, E.A. Kriksunov, V.D. Romanenko, and G.S. Rozenberg (Russian Federation and Ukraine); Takashi Asaeda (Japan); M. Balode (Latvia); T. Berman (Israel); Ilana Berman-Frank (USA), J.C. Bintz (USA); J. Bloesch (Switzerland); Maria-Jose L. Boavida (Portugal); Christina W.C. Branco (Brazil); G.S. Bullerjahn (USA); Angel Del Valls Casillas (Spain); B. Cuker (USA); A.G. Degermendzhy and Doretha B. Foushee (USA); M. Frankignoulle (Belgium); L. Hekanson (Sweden); D. Hamilton (Australia); J.

Ojaveer (Estonia); J.P. Ometto (Brazil, USA); A. Parparov (Israel); Massoud A.H. Saad (Egypt); Xiulin Wang (China); R.G. Wetzel (USA); and others. Recommendations of the international poster session “Water Ecosystems and Organisms-4,” June 19, 2002 In carrying out scientific investigations it is necessary to pay attention to the following problems: —the role of water ecosystems in maintaining of stability in the biosphere, including stability of biological productivity, biogeochemical processes, and the heat regime of the biosphere and climate; —the treatment of chemical substances for ecology, especially sublethal effects of xenobiotics for water organisms; —problems that could result in the development of criteria to evaluate ecological treatment of anthropogenic effects and enhancement of the system of priorities when ranging the substances dependent on the degree of their threat for ecology; —problems of water self-purification; anthropogenic effects on organisms and processes that take part in water self-purification deserve more detailed investigations; —relationships between surface water ecosystems and subterranean waters.

ON THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

It is appropriate to continue studies in directions that are developing in the Department of Hydrobiology of the Biological Faculty at Moscow State University. When upgrading educational programs, it is necessary to concentrate most attention on studies of water ecosystems and organisms. In performing ecological inspections, it is most important to reveal and support healthy conditions in water ecosystems. It is considered important to activate international cooperation and to expand scientific relations with international organizations and scientists from foreign countries, including North America, Europe, and Asia; it is recommended to participate more actively in mutual scientific projects supported by these organizations and countries; it is recommended to enter the Consortium of Ecology and Water Sciences in the International Biospheric Group and other projects. It is recommended to support the development of the International Society of Bioetics, which promotes under-

standing of the importance to conserve the entire biodiversity in living nature and to conserve ecosystems. It is appropriate to propose that the role and value of water ecosystems in maintaining the stability of the biosphere, the global environment, and the climate should be given proper attention at the forthcoming summit in Johannesburg. The participants of the session support the opinion, advanced earlier on by the scientific community, that it is appropriate to establish a new award for fundamental and applied investigations of high rank in ecology and environmental sciences. It is considered advisable to restore the limnological biological station in Kosino Translator’s note (Moscow region). A conference held in the form of a poster session should be considered as an appropriate and useful way for distributing and broadcasting new scientific results. It is considered advisable to carry out such meetings and poster sessions also in the future.
