Carrying capacity of an ecosystem defines that for a limited supply of food or organism consumed by predators, only a limited number of predators can survive.
Explanation:
The carrying capacity of any ecosystem determines the number of species including the predators that can thrive in this ecosystem thereby availing an adequate supply of food and other essential resources.
Therefore, the carrying capacity limits the population of predators in a given ecosystem. This is because for a limited supply of food or organism consumed by predators, only a limited number of predators can survive. If the population of predators becomes very large and in lieu to that not enough resources are available then the population of both the predator and its prey will decrease.
