The population of salmon in Lake Maria has remained constant, at around 2,000 for the past 10 years. Mr. Trout, the owner of the fishing resort on the lake, wants to increase the number of salmon available for his clients to catch fishing. He plans to stock the lake with 1,000 more salmon. Explain to Mr. Trout what will happen to the lake and the salmon population if he adds 1,000 extra fish

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.
A small lake is capable of supporting both bluegill and smallmouth bass. These two bony fish species compete for similar food resources. The carrying capacity of this lake for bluegill (K,) is 1,500 and for bass (Kz) is 500. After some careful measurement, we find that a is 0.5 and that ß is 0.25. We stock the lake with 250 bluegill and 750 bass. Over time, will both species be able to co-exist? If not, which one will be driven to extinction in this lake? If so, approximately how many of each species will be present? Please show math on paper and Draw Graph on paper! Please
In 1970 the deer population of an island forest reserve about 518 square kilometers in size was about 2000 animals. Although the island had excellent vegetation for feeding, the food supply obviously had limits. Thus the forest management personnel feared that overgrazing might lead to mass starvation. Since the area was too remote for hunters, the wildlife service decided to bring in natural predators to control the deer population. It was hoped that natural predation would keep the deer population from becoming too large and also increase the deer quality (or health), as predators often eliminate the weaker members of the herd. In 1971, ten wolves were flown into the island. The data collected during this program are shown in the following table. The Population Change is the number of deer born minus the number of deer that died during that year. Fill in the last column for each year. The first has been calculated for you. Then graph the deer and wolf populations on the graph below.…
