You might imagine a population of fish living in a freshwater lake in a wilderness area. Suddenly a catastrophe such as the Mount St. Helens volcanic eruption contaminates the lake and destroys a significant part of the food and oxygen on which the fish depend. The result is a new environment with a carrying capacity

$$M_1$$

considerably less than

$$M_0$$

and, in fact, less than the current population

$$P_0.$$

Starting at some time before the catastrophe, sketch a “before-and-after” curve that shows how the fish population responds to the change in environment.
