A catfish farm has seen its sales decrease by an average of 2 percent per year from a high of 60 million pounds in 2007. During the same period, it has increased its prices by an average of 4 percent per year from $0.70 per pound in 2007. Determine how many pounds of catfish the farm sold in 2009. Then calculate the difference between dollars earned from sales in 2009 and dollars earned from sales in 2007. Round your figures to the nearest cent.
Calculate the minimum number of pounds of catfish the farm would need to sell at 2007 prices to match its 2009 earnings. Round your answer to the nearest pound. Explain how government subsidies could help the farm become more profitable.
Using catfish as an example, explain the difference between bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Explain how aquaculture can reduce the risks posed by these phenomena to people who eat fish.
Identify and describe one environmental advantage and one economic advantage, other than those discussed in Part (c), of farming catfish rather than catching them in the wild. Identify and describe one environmental disadvantage and one economic disadvantage, other than those discussed in Part (c), of farming catfish rather than catching them in the wild.

Generate a research topic/hypothesis, for example some type of old's wives tale or cliche. identify the population of interest. how will you will randomly select in order to get a representative sample? how you will randomly assign the sample into the experimental and control group? what variable(s) will each group receive? identify the independent and dependent variables. explain how you will control for outside/confounding variables. the following is an example: example: topic: does more time spent studying lead to better grades on exams in college students. population of interest: all students enrolled at college random selection: access database with the names of all students and every 5th student will be involved in study. random assignment: every other student gets sent to the experimental group. experimental group: studies for two hours per night 5 days a week. control group: studies for less than 2 hours per night 5 days a week. independent variable: time spent studying dependent variable: exam scores control for: all students study on same nights, have same instructor, take same posttest, study same material, take exam at same time, etc. everything should be the same between the two groups except the amount of time spent !
