One of the major trends in the respective research activities is the development of biotesting methods. Such methods, in addition to ecotoxicology, are highly demanded for environmental monitoring and ecological standardization. The development of biotesting in toxicology, however, is limited to the “battery of tests” paradigm, while environmental monitoring and ecological standardization are based on the “uniformity of measurements” paradigm. A “reference bioindicator” is proposed to harmonize these approaches. A reference bioindicator serves for comparison of data obtained by different bioindicators. This method was approved for the state environmental control. Application of reference bioindicators makes analytical procedure substantially cheaper. It requires, however, thorough calibration in relation to specific environmental factors (such as temperature, photoperiod etc.) as well as to specific active agents and their combinations. This problem can be solved with the start-up of calibrating analytical centers and long-term study of the effects of spatiotemporal environmental factors in specific areas and for specific reference objects. This paper demonstrates long-term study results for the surface waters of Pavlovsk reservoir (Bashkortostan, Russia). date: 2013 type: Стаття type: PeerReviewed format: text language: uk identifier: http://eprints.zu.edu.ua/13001/1/Zeifert%202013.pdf identifier: Seіfer, Dmitry, Abdrashіtov, Yagafar, Baкhonіna, Elena, Ovsyannікova, Inna (2013) Ecological Monitoring Perspectives from Biotesting of Surface Waters: A Study of Pavlovsk Reservoir (Bashkortostan, Russia).
