Suppose that the growth-rate parameter k = 0.3 and the carrying capacity N = 2500 in the logistic population model of Exercise 17. Suppose P(0) = 2500. (a) If 100 fish are harvested each year, what does the model predict for the longterm behavior of the fish population? In other words, what does a qualitative analysis of the model yield? (b) If one-third of the fish are harvested each year, what does the model predict for the long-term behavior of the fish population?
