A fish population follows logistic growth \(\frac{dN}{dt}= rN\left(1-\frac{N}{K}\right)\) with intrinsic rate \(r = 0.5\) yr⁻¹ and carrying capacity \(K = 200{,}000\) tonnes. Harvest follows \(H = cEN\) where catchability \(c = 0.0001\) tonne per boat‑day and effort \(E\) is measured in boat‑days per year. Determine the effort that gives the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and compute that yield.

Answer Options

A. Effort = 2,500 boat‑days/year; MSY = 22,500 tonnes/year
B. Effort = 2,000 boat‑days/year; MSY = 20,000 tonnes/year
C. Effort = 3,000 boat‑days/year; MSY = 30,000 tonnes/year
Correct Answer D. Effort = 2,500 boat‑days/year; MSY = 25,000 tonnes/year
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Effort = 2,500 boat‑days/year; MSY = 25,000 tonnes/year
