Abstract:

137 species of water mites were collected in the middle flow region of the Neman River. The most numerous species were: Lebertiainsignis, Hygrobatescalliger, Limnesiaundulata, Hydrodromadespiciensand Sperchonclupeifer. The most frequently occurring species, both in samples and in sites, was Hydrachnaglobosa. 34 species were found in the Neman River, 36 in small tributaries, 68 in large tributaries, 77 in oxbow lakes and 15 in temporary reservoirs. It is believed that the abundance and species diversity of water mites in the Neman River is low because of the low pH value of the water. The water mites are concentrated in the Neman tributaries and oxbow lakes.
