Question

A redear fingerling harvest (from fingerling harvest method) yielded 276 lbs from three distinct size classes (including the brood fish).

A weight count sample was taken on each of the three sizes. The smallest fish returned 152 fish from a sample weight of 1/10 lb. The middle sized fish returned 201 fish from 1/4 lb of fish. The largest fish were 3 fish per 1 lb (brood).

After all the fish were weighed in the fish house it was determined that there was 124 lbs of the smallest fish, 99 lbs of the medium sized and 53 lbs of brood.

What was the total number of fish harvested from the pond?

Using the same information, what was the average number per pound for the whole harvest?

Explanation / Answer

Smallest fish :
1/10 lbs returns 152 fishes
1 lbs will return 1520 fishes
124 lbs will return 1520*124 = 188480 fishes

Middle fish :
1/4 lbs returns 201 fishes
1 lbs will return 201*4 = 804 fishes
99 lbs will return 804*99 = 79596 fishes

Largest fish :
1 lbs will return 3 fishes
53 lbs will return 3*53 = 159 fishes

Total number of fish harvested from the pond = 188480 + 79596 + 159 = 268235 fishes

Total weight of fishes = 124 + 99 + 53 = 276

Average number per pound for the whole harvest = 268235/276 = 971.87
