    The document discusses four loops related to fish populations and harvesting. Loop 1 is a balancing loop where a larger fish population leads to higher harvests which then decreases the fish population. Loop 2 is also a balancing loop where higher fish harvests can increase rejection rates, lowering sales and capital for fisheries. Loop 3 is a reinforcing loop where higher fish birth rates increase the fish population and further increase birth rates. Loop 4 is a reinforcing loop where a larger fish population allows for higher harvests, meeting market demand and potentially lowering prices.

    LOOP DISCUSSION

    Loop 1 (Balancing loop)

    Fish Population

    This variable is the number of fish that must be harvested from the pond. It is shown as a

    positive influence on the fish harvest because larger fish population generally leads to higher

    harvests.

    Volume of Fish harvest

    This factor represents the process of harvesting the fish population from its cage. It is

    shown as a negative influence on the fish population

    Loop 2 (Balancing Loop)

    Fish Population

    The fish population directly influences the volume of fish harvest in a given area. A

    larger and more abundant fish population generally translates to a higher potential for fish

    harvest.

    Volume of Fish harvest

    The volume of fish harvest significantly influences the rejection of fish in the fishing

    industry and seafood supply chains. When the fish harvest volume is high, there is an increased

    likelihood of encountering bycatch and unintended species, leading to higher rejection rates.
    Rejection

    The rejection of fish can have a significant impact on sales in the fishing industry and

    seafood markets. When fish are rejected, they are typically discarded or not suitable for sale,

    leading to potential financial losses for fishery businesses.

    Sales

    The sales of fish products can have a direct impact on the capital of fishery businesses

    and industry participants. The relationship between sales and capital follows the fundamental

    financial principle that revenue generated from sales contributes to the overall capital available

    for a business.

    Capital

    The availability of capital for fishery enterprises and fishing communities can have a

    substantial impact on fish reproduction rates by influencing fishing methods and conservation

    efforts. Sufficient financial resources can empower fishery businesses to invest in advanced and

    eco-friendly fishing technologies, like selective fishing gear and real-time tracking systems,

    which can help minimize unintentional catch of non-target species and safeguard the breeding

    population.

    Fish Birth

    As fish birth rates increase, the overall fish population experiences a positive impact.

    Higher fish birth rates lead to the addition of a greater number of young fish, referred to as

    recruits, into the population. These recruits eventually mature and become part of the breeding

    pool, thereby contributing to the overall growth of the fish population.


    Loop 3 (Reinforcing Loop)

    Fish Birth

    Since more fish are born, there are more fish overall, it demonstrates the beneficial

    impact on the fish population. When fish birth rates are high, a larger number of young fish,

    called recruits, are added to the population. These recruits eventually grow to maturity and join

    the breeding pool, contributing to the overall population size.

    Fish Population

    The fish population shows positive influence to the fish birth. Healthy and stable fish

    population is essential for maintaining a sustainable balance in aquatic environments. When fish

    populations are abundant and thriving, it can positively impact fish birth rates. With a higher

    number of mature fish available for reproduction, there is an increased likelihood of successful

    breeding and higher fecundity.

    Loop 4 (Reinforcing Loop)

    Fish Population

    The fish population directly influences the volume of fish harvest in a given area. A

    larger and more abundant fish population generally translates to a higher potential for fish

    harvest. A healthy fish population can sustain a higher level of fishing pressure without

    significantly depleting the stock, allowing for a sustainable harvest over time.

    Volume of Fish harvest

    The volume of fish harvest directly influences the demand for fish products in the market.

    When the fish harvest is plentiful, with abundant supply, it can help meet the demand from
    consumers, seafood processors, and various industries that rely on fish as a primary resource. A

    higher volume of fish harvest generally leads to a more stable and competitive market,

    potentially resulting in lower prices for consumers
