Problem 3 A Predatory Fish Preys On Snails In A Simple Aquarium System By Carefully Measuring Their Population Sizes 1 (273.27 KiB) Viewed 26 times

Problem 3: A predatory fish preys on snails in a simple aquarium system. By carefully measuring their population sizes, you find the following parameters for the Lotka-Volterra predator-victim model: • Snail population growth rate: 20/month ● Fish's capture rate: 4/ fish / month Fish's death rate: 5/month ● Fish's conversion efficiency: 0.1/snail / month 3.1 Which species is the predator? 3.2 Write out the Lotka-Volterra equations with the correct numbers inserted in place of the parameters r, q, a and B. (1 pt) dv/dt = dp/dt = 3.3 Find equilibrium population sizes of predator and victim; write the equation for each, and then write the final result in the boxes. (1 pt) The victim isocline is: (how many?) (of which species?) Which is the victim? 3.3 Diagram this system in state space, number the axes, and include arrows to show population growth rates at different points in the diagram (2 pts). predator The predator isocline is: (1 pt) (how many?) (of which species?) victim 3
