Question:

Assume that the environmental carrying capacity Nu is determined principally by the availability of food. Argue that under such an assumption, as N approaches Nu the physical condition of the average fish deteriorates as competition for the food supply becomes more severe. What does this suggest about the survival of the species when natural disasters such as storms, severe winters, and similar circumstances further restrict the food supply? Where should conservationists attempt to maintain the population level?
