Yes, the answer is carrying capacity. You mean the maximum number of organisms, though, not the maximum number of species.

B.S., because no one can say exactly how many species there are at any given time (seeing that previously unknown species are being discovered all the time, many in the oceans), therefore, how can anyone state with accuracy what the environment can or cannot support?
