Question
Crayfish are sometimes used as live bait by fisherman. After a day of fishing, a fisherman let go 5 unused crayfishes in a lake. A year later, the population of crayfish has grown to 15. Assuming that the population is growing exponentially, how many crayfishes can one expect after 4 years? Round your answer to the closest full number.

These models enable scientists to make predictions about population changes, which is an important element of developing plans for managing the lionfish population You'll be using the discrete-time logistic model that is described on this page in future parts of the case study, so make sure to carefully read through the explanation of this mathematical model. Even if you don't have a strong math background, this case study walks through the equation step by step. 6)Which of the following are constant terms in the discrete-time logistic model? choose all that apply a)Nt b)ΔN c)t d)K e)Δt f)rmax,d g)None of thesearrow_forwardYou start a lab colony of Rotifers (small aquatic animals) by adding 4 indviduals to asmall tank.

You know that 20 mussels were originally let go in the river by a resident. These mussels have no predators. You know from your research that, under ideal conditions, the instantaneous rate of increase of this mussel species is 0.17. You also think the conditions on the river were ideal when the mussels were introduced. After surveying the food available in the river, you estimated that there is enough food to support a population of 12,700 mussels. How many mussels do expect to be in the river now?arrow_forwardWhat has caused the population illustrated below to slow down? a consumption of resources b high death rates c low reproductive rates d increased availability of resourcesarrow_forward
