The fish population \(P(t)\) in a lake follows the logistic equation \(\frac{dP}{dt}=rP\left(1-\frac{P}{K}\right)\) with intrinsic growth rate \(r=0.4\ \text{yr}^{-1}\) and carrying capacity \(K=20\,000\) fish. A constant harvest of \(H\) fish per year is applied. (a) Determine the largest constant harvest \(H_{\max}\) that will allow a non‑zero equilibrium population. (b) State the equilibrium population size when the harvest equals \(H_{\max}\).

Answer Options

A. Maximum sustainable harvest = 2500 fish per year; equilibrium population = 8 000 fish
Correct Answer B. Maximum sustainable harvest = 2000 fish per year; equilibrium population = 10 000 fish
C. Maximum sustainable harvest = 2000 fish per year; equilibrium population = 5 000 fish
D. Maximum sustainable harvest = 1500 fish per year; equilibrium population = 12 000 fish
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Maximum sustainable harvest = 2000 fish per year; equilibrium population = 10 000 fish
