Impacts of maximum sustainable yield policy to prey–predator systems

چکیده

This article investigates the effects of reaching the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) in prey–predator systems where the prey population follows logistic law of growth. Two different models are proposed: (i) first model involves linear prey–predator interaction and intraspecific competition among predator populations, and (ii) the second one is a ratio-dependent prey–predator system. In the first model, our results suggest that the introduction of intraspecific competition among predator population has important consequences for the fishing to reach MSY from prey species and maximum sustainable total yield (MSTY) for combined harvesting of both prey and predator species. On the otherhand, in the second ntraspecific competition atio-dependent aximum sustainable total yield ersistence model, our results suggest that though the harvesting of prey species at MSY level shall be guaranteed the coexistence of both the species, but the combined harvesting of both the species at MSTY level may cause extinction of the predator species. However, for both the models, predator harvesting at MSY level may be a sustainable fishing policy. Therefore, based on our results we can conclude that MSY (or MSTY) policy in prey–predator systems in nature are not likely to fit requirements of Conservation of Biological Diversity (CBD, 1992) in all cases.

Maximum Sustainable Yield Policy in Prey-Predator System-A Study

In this paper, maximum sustainable yield policy in prey-predator system is discussed where the prey population follows logistic law of growth. Here a model is proposed involving linear prey–predator interaction and intra-specific competition among predator populations. The growth rate of the predator depends upon predation on the modelled and alternate prey. In traditional prey–predator system,...

Threshold harvesting policy and delayed ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model

This paper deals with a delayed ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model with a threshold harvesting policy. We study the equilibria of the system before and after the threshold. We show that the threshold harvesting can improve the undesirable behavior such as nonexistence of interior equilibria. The global analysis of the model as well as boundedness and permanence properties a...

Optimal Harvesting Policy of Discrete-Time Predator-Prey Dynamic System with Holling Type-IV Functional Response and Its Simulation

This paper deals with a discrete-time prey-predator system with Holling type-IV function response in the presence of some alternative food to predator and harvesting of prey species. By theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, comparing with the system without harvesting, ecological equilibrium point of the system is removed if harvesting effort is changed, and the appropriate harvesting ...

The Stability of Some Systems of Harvested Lotka-Volterra Predator-Prey Equations

Some scientists are interesting to study in area of harvested ecological modelling. The harvested population dynamics is more realistic than other ecological models. In the present paper, some of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey models have been considered. In the said models, existing species are harvested by constant or variable growth rates. The behavior of their solutions has been analyzed ...
