At the start of 2023, the population of an invasive freshwater crustacean in a lake was estimated to be 5.8 million. Due to reproduction and larval recruitment, on average one new individual is successfully added to the population every 50 seconds.
Assuming no individuals died in 2023, calculate the annual percentage increase in this crustacean population for 2023. Assume there are 365 days in a year. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
