It determines maximum production in various fields, e.g. fishing, agriculture, and forestry. Two parameters, r and k, have been recognized as two important concept in Biological generation of game theory. ;However, it fails to provide some of limiting hypotheses. Environment is stable enough to assure birthrate and death get rid of influence. Crowded impact is equal to each individual. Influence caused by birthrate and death rate is immediate Per capita rate of increase is restrained by density, even though it is very low. Stable age distribution In sexual reproduction population, any female can find mate. ;Variation in Pop. Size;Variation in Pop. Size;Light Rainfall Nutrient Predators Space Others… ;Variation in Pop.
