A fish population in a lake follows logistic growth \( \frac{dN}{dt}= rN\left(1-\frac{N}{K}\right) \) with intrinsic rate \( r =0.4\ \text{yr}^{-1} \) and carrying capacity \( K = 5000 \) fish. A constant harvest of \( H \) fish per year is applied. Find the maximum sustainable harvest \( H_{\max} \) that allows a non‑zero equilibrium and give the corresponding equilibrium population size.

Answer Options

A. Maximum sustainable harvest = 400 fish/yr; equilibrium population = 2000 fish
B. Maximum sustainable harvest = 600 fish/yr; equilibrium population = 3000 fish
C. Maximum sustainable harvest = 450 fish/yr; equilibrium population = 2250 fish
Correct Answer D. Maximum sustainable harvest = 500 fish/yr; equilibrium population = 2500 fish
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Maximum sustainable harvest = 500 fish/yr; equilibrium population = 2500 fish
