You are starting a fishery with a limited number of identical natural ponds. Your goal is to raise the largest yield (Total Fish) per pond
without adding feed to the water. The natural ponds already have food sources whose identity isn't necessary to answer this question.
To determine the best fish or combination of fish to farm, you add equal amounts of different fry (young fish) to each of your ponds: Only
Tilapia, Only Catfish, Only Trout, Tilapia and Trout, Tilapia and Catfish, and Trout and Catfish. At the end of the year, you count the
numbers of adult fish raised and enter them into a data table:
