Lobster is a very valuable seafood export in Canada. The lobsters caught off the coast of Atlantic Canada make up 50% of the world lobster supply. In order to protect the lobster population from overfishing, the Government of Canada has conservation measures in place to ensure the population size is maintained. Some of the measurements include placing a limit on the number of fishing licenses issued, limiting the fishing seasons, establishing minimum and maximum lobster size limits, and protecting egg-bearing females. Fisheries and Oceans Canada regularly monitors and collects data to estimate the lobster population size.

The carrying capacity of the lobster population can be best described as the

Select one:

a. initial bottom plateau in a logistic growth curve that demonstrates a stable population

b. steep increase in an exponential growth curve that demonstrates the high biotic potential

c. slow increase in a linear growth curve that demonstrates controlled and sustainable growth

d. latter plateau on a growth curve that fluctuates in response to environmental resistance
