Invertebrates Fauna of the Lubiatowskie Lakes in the North-West Part of the Note Primeval Forest

Abstract
The lakes included in the research are called the Lubiatowskie Lakes and they are as follows: Solecko, Lubiatówko, Łkie, Gostomie, Miel, Piersko, Siwino, Glinki, Zdroje, Solczyk, Kliczyna, Rpino. Most of these lakes are flow lakes. The biggest one is Lubowo (102.5 ha) and Solecko (91 ha). The research was conducted from 2003 to 2004, between May and September. The collected material included 14 species of leeches Hirudinea, 22 species of snails Gaspropoda, and 11 species of bivalves Bivalvia as well as several species of dragonflies and ephemerids, 2 species of sponges and 3 species of the Bryozoa. The remote lakes, screened by woods, are often penetrated by poachers with power-generating machines. As a result, invertebrates have become very sparse there. It is an example of a human activity which decreases biological variety in the lakes we have examined
