PIKE PROBLEMS IN LAKE DAVIS

INTRODUCTION This is an Algebra I
Simulation designed for grades 8 - 12. It
involves Proportions and Equations, and has been
developed from the Unit entitled "Estimating Fish
Populations" (College Preparatory Math Math 1,
Volume 1). Fisheries Biologists have
determined that the Northern Pike in Lake Davis
near Portola, California pose a threat to the
various trout and catfish populations. The lake
has been drained down and poisoned to remove the
pike in recent years. Due to environmental and
health concerns (Lake Davis has been a major
water source for the town of Portola), the
California State Department of Fish Game has
hired your company to make a post-poisoning study
of the various fish populations currently found
in the lake.
