Water quality criteria are the basis for formulating environmental water quality standards, and are also an important part of environmental water protection and environmental management programs. The current study focused on a systematic discussion of the current research progress of water quality criteria theories and methodology for aquatic organisms both in China and internationally. This study also successfully pointed out key scientific issues which should be considered in the determination of water quality criteria guidelines from the following perspectives for a national strategy: the selection of pollutants; data collection and screening; species selection; water quality criteria derivation methods, and so on. For the first time, this study systematically introduced technology for the determination of water quality criteria guidelines for protecting aquatic organisms which was suitable for China's regional characteristics and national conditions. Furthermore, this study pointed out the key research directions which should be considered in the future construction of China's environmental criteria and management systems, in order to provide technical support for environmental protection and management projects.
水质标准是制定环境水质标准的基础，也是环境水保护和环境管理计划的重要组成部分。本研究系统地讨论了当前国内外水生生物水质标准理论和方法的研究进展。本研究还从以下几个方面成功地指出了在确定水质标准指南时应考虑的关键科学问题，作为国家战略：污染物的选择；数据收集和筛选；物种选择；水质标准推导方法等。本研究首次系统地介绍了适合中国区域特点和国家国情的保护水生生物的水质标准指南的确定技术。此外，本研究还指出了中国未来环境标准和管理体系建设中应考虑的关键研究方向，为环境保护和管理项目提供技术支持。
