    it will be between 4 and 30 years

    Step-by-step explanation:

    if the total average population is 30000

    And the population is added by + -3000 every year,

    And the fishermen catch 4000 every year

    Assuming it reduces by 3000 every year,

    we will have 7000 reduction every year

    let n be the number of years

    30000 - 7000n = 0

    30000/7000 = n

    4.28 = 4years

    Assuming it increases by 3000 every year,

    we will have 1000 reduction every year

    30000 - 1000n = 0

    n = 30000/1000 = 30years
