Question
Chapter 46.6, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
If a population is harvested by the humans, then the yield is termed as the ratio of number of individuals harvested to the time taken to harvest them. Maximum sustainable yield (MSY) is the maximum number of individuals of a population that can be removed from the habitat without causing decrease in population.
