1.4.5. production rate
1.4.5. production rate
The production rate is expressed as a proportion of the population size or biomass. The production rate can be highly variable owing to environmental fluctuations, predation, and other biological interactions with other populations. On average, production decreases at low and high population sizes, and biomass decreases as the amount of fishing effort increases. This means there is a relationship between average production and fishing effort.
