OPTIMAL HARVESTING STRATEGY FOR PREY-PREDATOR MODEL WITH PREDATORS STRUCTURED AS IMMATURE AND MATURE

In this paper, we will study a prey-predator model with predators structured as immature and mature. For harvesting species, the fraction of stock available for prey and the fraction of stock available for predators are taken into account. Our analysis will focus on the permanence of system, the equilibrium points and the optimal harvesting strategy for prey and mature predators. Numerical simulations are being conducted to confirm the theoretical results of our work.
