Paradigm shift in technical hydrobiology: from local impact, to a new techno-ecosystem concept for thermal and nuclear plant water

Based on analysis of F.D. Mordukhai-Boltovskoy’s publications, this paper examines the history studies impact thermal and nuclear power plants, which were originally performed under classical “Haeckelian” ecological paradigm: external effect technogenic factors aquatic ecosystems biota. The decline in interest problem was not associated with a decrease or changes energy industry. However, paradigm itself is changing association emergence concept technoecosystem. cooling ponds plants (TPPs) (NPPs) can be used as models climate change, particularly warming. materials obtained effects temperature rise are still underused by hydrobiologists studying change its potential consequences.
