Using CEDA, following main parameters MSY (maximum sustainable yield), K (carrying capacity), q (catchability coefficient), r (intrinsic growth rate), Ryield (replacement yield) and final biomass were estimated.

were collected and organized for further analysis using Schaefer harvest (production) model to calculate maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and the corresponding effort ([f.sub.MSY]) from catch and effort data of series years [7,16].
Freshwater Fisheries Resource Potential Estimation: The case of Lake Ardibo, Northern Ethiopia
Using the estimate of the natural mortality of 0.38 [year.sup.-1], we obtained an estimate of the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) of 375.60 gr.[recruit.sup.-1] for a fishing mortality (F) equal to 0.52.[year.sup.-1], which is smaller than the actual levels of exploitation (Figure 2).

Finally, in Figure 9, we have shown the numerical example for the maximum sustainable yield where the equilibrium point A([x.sup.*.sub.1], [y.sup.*.sub.1], [x.sup.*.sub.2], [y.sup.*.sub.2]) is changing for different effort E and there is one value of E as [E.sup.*] where we get maximum yield h = q[E.sub.*][y.sub.*].
