The Fish Pond In this activity I will be using the information given to me about this specific fish pond, to create and solve an equation that will represent the amount of fish I will raise and afterwards sell at the local market. In order to do this in an efficient and cost effective manner, I will need to determine the pond's carrying capacity which can also be referred to as the maximum population that the pond is capable of sustaining in the long run. I will do this by using the scaled map of the pond and the given information: * An average depth of 1.5 meters * One fish requires 37 to grow to its maximum size and does so in one year. 1. The first step in solving for the maximum population would be to estimate the surface area of the pond by each of the following methods:: a) Use the sum...
