Your Task
In this task, students will solve problems involving populations of
fish by applying their knowledge of graphing and solving systems
of linear equations.
A fishery is an area with the specific purpose of controlling fish populations for
commercial or recreational fishing. Population dynamics describe how a fish
population changes over time. The population is changed by birth, death, and
migration of fish. While the supply of fish (population growth) can be modeled
with a linear equation, so can the demand of fish (the amount caught). In one
commercial venture, fishermen recorded their daily catch in an ocean fishery.
Using their data, the demand model for the total number y of fish caught for x
days is y= 349x + 50
What is the meaning of the slope in this model?
What is the meaning of the y-intercept?
Write an equation to model the fish population y in
a fishery that has a linear growth rate of 40 new
fish each season x, and an initial population of
1250 fish.
After how many seasons will the population reach
1690 fish?
Write an equation for a second fish population that
grows by 60 new fish each season with an initial
population of 1100 fish.
After how many seasons will they have the same
population?

One species of fish in a fishery had an initial
population of 255 fish and after 9 seasons, the
population had grown to 480 fish. A second
species that was being overfished started with an
initial population of 450 fish, and after the same 9
seasons, it had a new population of 90 fish.
Assuming a linear growth, write the equations for
the population of each species.
Graph your equations in the coordinate plane. Find
the point in the graph which represents when the
two populations will have the same number of fish.
After how many seasons will the second
population be eliminated?

Yield is the total number of fish caught each year.
Maximum sustainable yield is the total number of
fish you can catch without harming the population.
You are given a fish population that is described
by the equation y = 126x + 745 and another fish
population being overfished as described by the
equation 33x + y = 1699 where x is the number of
years and y is the number of fish.
After how many years will these two fish
populations be equal?
