PART IV. EVALUATING A HARVEST STRATEGY FOR PARROTS AND PALMS PARROTS Now you can calculate the maximum sustained yield (MSY) for this parrot population using the following equation: MSY the highest harvesting rate of individuals from a population that will not reduce its population size K is the size of the population when it is unharvested, that is, at carrying capacity, and rest is the intrinsic rate of increase Recall that the life table was for females but that there are males also in the population so multiply your resulting maximum sustained yield figure by 2 (assuming equal sex ratios). 9. What is the maximum sustainable number of parrots that can be harvested each year from the entire forest? Show your calculations.

Explanation / Answer

The total maximum number of of parrots that can be harvested each year from entire forest is 191.45977.

maximum sustainable yield or MSY is the largest yield that can be taken from a species' stock over an indefinite period.
