Question

A group of marine scientists introduced a species of fish into an artificial habitat and wanted to determine if it will grow well in the new environment. They recorded the population over several years and their data is plotted below. Analyze the data and formulate a conclusion. Does this species of fish do well in this habitat? Predict what will happen to the population over the next five years.

Answer 1

Answer: The graph appears to show an exponential growth among the school of fish. This is good for their species, because the artificial habitat suits their needs. The next five years would probably continue to grow this way if the environment doesn't change too rapidly.
