When biologists have found the causes of the diatoms' mysterious shifts, they may be able to advise fishermen where the best catches can be netted, and how large future catches will be. Newly hatched fry often feed on diatoms before becoming carnivorous. Poor pasturage can mean survival of few fry, poor catches for fishermen...

Results are the Hillel Foundations, akin to the Westminster Foundations (for Presbyterians), Newman Clubs (for Catholics), and other denominational societies which flourish on U. S. campuses.
