Dear all expert,

I am trying my best now with my honor degree project titled:
"Studies of Domoic acid production by Diatoms"

Diatoms, esp. in penate forms, are known to produce certain kinds
of chemicals which are thought to be detrimetal to living organisms
in aquatic ecosystems.  This proposed project focuses on the factor(s).
-Physical  -Chemical & Biological that would initiate the production of 
a major chemical component -DOMOIC acid, which is found to be related
to many fish-kills in countries along the Pacific coasts.

Please give helps and any ideas if you have any.
It is important for me in my final year research project!

Thanks!
