We analyse the effect of harvesting in a resource dependent age structured population model, deriving the conditions for the existence of a stable steady state as a function of fertility coefficients, harvesting mortality and carrying…
Sustainable use of biological resources is very important as over exploitation on the long run may lead to stock depletion, which in turn may threaten biodiversity. The Chesapeake Bay is an extremely complex ecosystem, and sustainable…
This paper aims to introduce a concept of an equilibrium point of a dynamical system which will call it almost global asymptotically stable. A biological prey-predator model is also analyzed with a modification function growth in prey…

This paper proposes a novel modelling and control framework for growth models that incorporate a size spectrum in conjunction with numerical computation and extensive field surveys. In fisheries management, the size spectrum, characterized…
Spatiotemporal processes have the potential to be one of the most influential factors governing how fisheries targeting sedentary species respond to harvesting. Despite this, management strategy evaluation often fails to account for space…
We present an explicit unified stochastic model of fluctuations in population size due to random birth, death, density-dependent competition and environmental fluctuations. Stochastic dynamics provide insight into small populations,…

In this study, we develop a metapopulation model framework to identify optimal harvesting strategies for a population in a stream network. We consider two distinct optimization objectives: maximization of total biomass and maximization of…
We introduce the logistic model of consumption growth, which captures a negative feedback loop preventing an unlimited growth of consumption due to finite biophysical resources of our planet. This simple dynamic model allows for derivation…
