Consider the fishing optimal control problem defined by
 

where  is the fish population at time , and  is the fishing intensity or catch ( and  are constants). If  is the discount rate, the objective function is given by
 

where the utility of consumption is .
a) State the transversality condition.

b) Find the optimal consumption , if .

## Optimal Control Problem Analysis for Fishing Resource Management  

Given the problem formulation:

\[
\dot{P}_t = aP_t - bP_t x_t
\]

Where:  
- \( P_t \) is the fish population at time \( t \)  
- \( x_t \) is the fishing intensity or catch rate  
- Constants \( a > 0 \) and \( b > 0 \) represent the natural growth rate of the fish population and the catch efficiency, respectively  

The objective function is:

\[
V(x) = \int_0^\infty e^{-rt} u(x_t) \, dt
\]

with utility function \( u(x_t) = \ln(x_t) \) and consumption \( c_t = x_t \).  

### (a) Transversality Condition  
The transversality condition ensures that the value function \( V(x) \) is finite and the control path is optimal over __________ _______ _________ ______ ___ _____ ___ _____ ________.
