Question

A population of 200 bass released in a lake began growing at a rate of 100 fish/yr. A second assessment performed at a later date found that there were 400 fish and the population was growing at a rate of 160 fish/yr. (Assume logistic growth dynamics.)

Estimate the equilibrium population size if fish are harvested at the MSY

Follow-up Question

Suppose that unfortunately, the second growth rate (160 fish/yr) was over-‐estimated, and the true growth rate, which was only 150 fish/yr. Calculate the new MSY? If fish were harvested at the incorrect MSY, what would happen to the fish population
