(01.01 HC) A group of marine scientists introduced a species of fish into an artificial habitat and wanted to determine whether it will grow well in the new environment. They recorded the population over several years and their data is plotted below. Analyze the data and formulate a conclusion. Does this species of fish do well in this habitat? Predict what will happen to the population over the next five years. (3 points)
