[For the entire collection see Zbl 0752.00055.] Consider a supercritical branching process with i.i.d. environments. The authors give conditions for the existence of a parameter \(\theta_ 0>0\) such that the probability of extinction, starting with \(k\) individuals is asymptotically of order not less than \(k^{-\theta_ 0}\) and of smaller order than \(k^{-\theta}\) for any \(\theta<\theta_ 0\). The result has an application to the problem of minimizing the extinction probability in reproducing populations [\textit{D. R. Grey}, Theor. Popul. Biol. 18, 430- 443 (1980; Zbl 0451.92017)].
