Abstract

---

Ingold (1966) reported that aquatic hyphomycetes were unable to colonize conifer needles. Since then, no report has been published on colonization of pine needles by aquatic hyphomycetes. An experiment was, therefore, carried out to see the colonization of dead needles of Quetta pine (Pinus halepensis L) by aquatic hyphomycetes in water stream near the fish house of Urak, Quetta. The stream in this area has a width of 1-2 meters, maximum depth 25-30 cm, average water temperature around 19°C, average pH 7.5 and approximate conductivity 0.9 mm/cm.
