Best Answer

Every habitat has a carrying capacity for a given organism based on available space and resources such as food. This goes for fish in a lake. If the population of fish exceeds the carrying capacity, some of the fish will die off and reduce the population. Depending on the environment and the species, disease and predators also help keep populations under control.
