    Answer: 38090 fish

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use the equation 55,000 (.96) ^9. Start with the initial number in this case it is 55,000 then multiply by the percentage that remains (100% - 4% = 96%) and then put it to the ninth power because that is how many years the problem is asking for.
