A fish pond has a water volume of \(750\) m³. Two stocking options are considered:\n\nOption A: stock at \(0.08\) fish m⁻³.\nOption B: stock at \(0.12\) fish m⁻³.\n\nIf the density is \(\leq0.1\) fish m⁻³ the average weight of a surviving fish after six months is \(0.5\) kg; if the density exceeds \(0.1\) fish m⁻³ the average weight is reduced by \(15\%\). Mortality is \(4\%\) per month, acting cumulatively. The market price is N250 per kg, feed cost is N40 per kg of fish produced, and fixed costs are N8 000. Which option gives the higher net profit, and what is that profit (to the nearest Naira)?
