Population

The goldfish in our fishtank are considered their own little population as they are from the same species and interact and develop in their own little environment.
A population can be classified as a group of the same type of species that live in the same geographical area. This area is usually the location that mainly inter-breeding occurs within the population. An example of a population would be a lake that holds a group of koi fish that inter-breed with eachother and reproduce to expand their population in the lake.
