A severe winterkill seemingly killed all the trout in a lake. A decision is made to restock the lake with trout from a nearby lake. The carrying capacity of the stocked lake is estimated at 11,500 trouts and the instantaneous rate of increase of the species is estimated at 0.006. If the lake is stocked with 800 trout, how many trout will be in the lake after 55 years. Round your answer to the closet full number.

What if we were able to restore some critical salmon habitat, like the forests surrounding the spawning streams? To test this restoration, increase K to 40,000 fish. What would that do to the MSY value? [ Select ] Does this mean you would be able to harvest more or less fish? [ Select ]
One hundred trout are seeded into a lake. Absent constraint, their population will grow by 70% a year. The lake can sustain a maximum of 2000 trout. Using the logistic growth model, calculate the number of trout after 5 years. 992 850 439 678

In April, a population of frogs in a local ravine had a population of 42, which was increased in May by 263 tadpoles. Pesticide runoff killed 26 tadpoles, and predators consumed 8 frogs. In July construction workers began clearing the ravine and ran over 12 frogs. Calculate the population growth rate of the frogs in the ravine from April to August.
Lake Winnipeg is a shallow lake composed of two basins: a wide north basin and a narrow southbasin that provides a habitat for over 50 different species of fish. Each of the statements belowinvolves a situation that will affect the growth of a population. Classify each of the statements asDD (density dependent) or DI (density independent) and give a reason for your choice.1. Rainbow smelt and yellow perch attempt to occupy the same area. The more aggressive smeltsurvive; the perch do not. __________________________________________________2. A severe flood brings a lot of sediment and silt into Lake Winnipeg. The turbidity of the lakeincreases greatly. ________________________________________________________3. Since northern pike prey on yellow perch, an increase in the perch population causes anincrease in the pike population. _______________________________________________4. Many fish die due to an increase in water…

Figure 19.6 If the major food source of seals declines due to pollution or overfishing, which of the following would likely occur? a. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, as would the seal population. b. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, but the seal population would remain the same. c. The number of seal deaths would increase, but the number of births would also increase, so the population size would remain the same. d. The carrying capacity of seals would remain the same, but the population of seals would decrease.

The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, as would the seal population. The carrying capacity of seals would decrease, but the seal population would remain the same. The number of seal deaths would increase but the number of births would also increase, so the population size would remain the same. The carrying capacity of seals would remain the same, but the population of seals would decrease.
