For a fixed catch rate , natural logistic growth can replace the catch at two abundances if . The upper equilibrium attracts, and the lower is an unstable survival threshold. They meet in a saddle-node bifurcation at , . Above this catch every positive population declines to zero. Below it a population initially under also becomes extinct. A constant catch is stopped at extinction to avoid negative abundances; it is distinct from per-capita harvesting proportional to .
