Graph showing the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) of a renewable resource

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The green curve shows the growth of a renewable resource (fish for fishery, game for hunters, trees for logging, etc). The carrying capacity of the environment (ecosystem) is giving by a dashed blue line. Population growth is logistic in nature: once the population approaches 50% of the carrying capacity, growth will slow down. In this idealized model, the population will not exceed the carrying capacity (there is no overshoot). The maximum sustainable yield (MSY, dashed blue line) is the number of individuals that can be harvested, caught, or hunted without compromising the ability of the population to recover. The MSY depends on the resource, but is usually around or below 50% of the carrying capacity.
