Because of high mortality and low reproductive success some


Because of high mortality and low reproductive success, some fish species experience exponential decline over many years. Atlantic Salmon in Lake Ontario, for example, declined by 80% in the 20-year period leading up to 1896. If xdenotes the number of Atlantic Salmon per square kilometer in Lake Ontario in year t, where year 0 is 1876, then we can model the decline in the number of fish per square kilometer with a DTDS of the form  xt+1=rxt. Given the data above, calculate the value of r. Give your answer with an accuracy of three decimal places.
