    4,712 fingerlings

    Explanation:

    The amount that a sum will accumulate to at the end of a particular number of period if it grows at a certain rate per annum is given as

    F = A * (1+g) ^ (n)

    F - Sum at the end of the period, A - sum at the beginning of the period, n - number of period, g - growth rate

    5,000 = A * (1.02) ^ (3)

    a = 5000 / (1.02^3)

    a = 4711.61

    The population at the start of fingerlings = 4,712
