Abstract

Based on the individual growth, food limitation,population renewal through seeding, and individualmarketable size, a theoretical model of the culturedspecies population dynamics was used to assess thecarrying capacity of an ecosystem. It gave adome-shape curve relating the annual production andthe standing stock under the assumption of individual growth limited by the available food inan ecosystem. It also showed the influence ofmortality rate and marketable size on this curve andwas introduced as a means to explore the globalproperties resulting from the interactions betweenthe ecophysiology of the reared species and theenvironment at the ecosystem level.
