The formula for logistic growth rate is shown above. A population of salmon has a carrying capacity of 2500 in a small fishery. What will occur when the population reaches 3000 for the salmon?

Answer:

The population begins to decreases its numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

The carrying capacity is the capacity of an environment to support a population. In this case the maximum amount of individuals of salmon that could support the fishery is 2500.

The logistic growth model is a model that shows the growth of a population in a certain environment depending on their initial numbers. This model states that when a population gets the carrying capacity, the resources will no longer be available for all of them (food, space, etc) and some individuals will die until the system gets to the carrying capacity or lees.
