A fishery follows logistic growth with carrying capacity \(K = 200{,}000\) tonnes and intrinsic growth rate \(r = 0.4\) yr\(^{-1}\). The current stock is \(N_0 = 80{,}000\) tonnes.\n\n(a) What is the maximum constant annual harvest (\(H_{\max}\)) that can be sustained without causing stock collapse?\n\n(b) If the fishery wishes the stock to reach \(120{,}000\) tonnes after 5 years, what constant annual harvest \(H\) should be set (approximate to the nearest tonne)?

Answer Options

A. Maximum sustainable harvest = 22,000 tonnes per year; Harvest for target = 13,200 tonnes per year
B. Maximum sustainable harvest = 25,000 tonnes per year; Harvest for target = 9,000 tonnes per year
Correct Answer C. Maximum sustainable harvest = 20,000 tonnes per year; Harvest for target = 11,850 tonnes per year
D. Maximum sustainable harvest = 18,000 tonnes per year; Harvest for target = 10,500 tonnes per year
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
Maximum sustainable harvest = 20,000 tonnes per year; Harvest for target = 11,850 tonnes per year
