Chaos to Order: Role of Toxin Producing Phytoplankton in Aquatic Systems

چکیده
Abstract. Toxin producing phytoplankton (TPP) plays an important role in aquatic systems. To observe the role of TPP, we consider a three species food chain model consisting of TPP-zooplankton-fish population. The similar type of model considered by Upadhyay et al. [1] for terrestrial ecosystem and obtained chaotic dynamics in some region of parametric space. We modify their models by taking into account the toxin liberation process of TPP population and represented as aquatic systems. We consider Holling type I, type II and type III functional forms for this process. We observe that increasing the strength of toxic substance change the state from chaos to order. Our conclusion is that TPP has a stabilizing contribution in aquatic systems and may be used as a bio-control mechanism.

SPATIOTEMPORAL DYNAMIC OF TOXIN PRODUCING PHYTOPLANKTON (TPP)-ZOOPLANKTON INTERACTION
The present paper deals with a toxin producing phytoplankton (TPP)-zooplankton interaction in spatial environment in thecontext of phytoplankton bloom. In the absence of diffusion the stability of the given system in terms of co-existence and hopf bifurcation has been discussed. After that TPP-zooplankton interaction is considered in spatiotemporal domain by assuming self diffusion in both popu...

Sciences exist to demonstrate the fundamental order underlying nature. Chaos/complexity theory is a novel and amazing field of scientific inquiry. Notions of our everyday experiences are somehow in connection to the laws of nature through chaos/complexity theory’s concerns with the relationships between simplicity and complexity, between orderliness and randomness (Retrieved from http://www.inc...
متن کاملToxin-allelopathy among phytoplankton species prevents competitive exclusion
Toxic or allelopathic compounds liberated by toxin-producing phytoplankton (TPP) acts as a strong mediator in plankton dynamics. On an analysis of a set of phytoplankton biomass-data that have been collected by our group in the North-West part of the Bay of Bengal, and by analysis of a three-component mathematical model under a constant as well as a stochastic environment, we explore the role o...
متن کاملA fractional-order toxin producing phytoplankton and zooplankton system
In this work, we investigate the dynamical behavior of a fractional-order toxin producing on a phytoplankton–zooplankton (TPPZ) system with nutrient cycling. We propose a mathematical system to model this situation. All the feasible equilibria of the system are obtained and the conditions for the existence of the equilibriums are determined. Local stability analysis of the TPPZ is studied by us...
متن کاملMathematical Modelling of Migrated Phytoplankton Species in an Infected and Toxin Producing Phytoplankton-Zooplankton System
In this paper the dynamical behaviour of toxin producing phytoplankton and zooplankton system is investigated. The toxin producing phytoplankton are divided into two groups: susceptible phytoplankton and infected phytoplankton. Conditions of local stability of various equilibrium points are derived. Further it is observed that the range of toxin liberation parameter increases for the coexistenc...
