A fish population of 250 in a pond has a maximum annual rate of increase of 0. 8. If the carrying capacity of the pond is 1,500 for this species, what is the expected population size after one year?.

Answer :

Parraingo

Based on the carrying capacity of the pond and the current fish population, the expected population size after one year is 417 fish.

What is the expected population size after one year?

This can be found as:

= Population + (rate of increase x population x (Carrying capacity - population / carrying capacity)

Solving gives:

= 250 + (0.8 x 250 x ( 1,500 - 250 /1,500))

= 417 fishes
