An invasive species of fish is introduced to a river with unlimited food and zero predators. For the first five years, its population doubles every month. However, by year six, the river reaches its carrying capacity as shelter runs out and a deadly virus spreads through the crowded fish.
In this example, the growth curve, density dependent & density independent limiting factors are.
What is logistical?
What is the density dependent factors are unlimited food, no predators, & disease, and the density independent factor is no shelter?
