A fish population in a lake follows logistic growth \(\frac{dN}{dt}=rN\left(1-\frac{N}{K}\right)\) with intrinsic growth rate \(r=0.4\) yr⁻¹ and carrying capacity \(K=8000\) fish. A constant harvest removes \(H\) fish each year. Determine the maximum sustainable harvest \(H_{max}\) that still allows a non‑zero equilibrium, and give the equilibrium population size at this harvest level.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. H_{max}=800 fish per year; equilibrium population = 4000 fish
B. H_{max}=1000 fish per year; equilibrium population = 3000 fish
C. H_{max}=600 fish per year; equilibrium population = 3500 fish
D. H_{max}=800 fish per year; equilibrium population = 2000 fish
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
H_{max}=800 fish per year; equilibrium population = 4000 fish
