Periodic harvesting of renewable resources subjected to additive Allee effect
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract. Allee effect refers to a reduction in individual tness at low
population density that can lead to extinction [1] Allee effect occurs whenever
fitness of an individual in a small or sparse population decreases as the
population size or density also declines [1], [2]. Bio-economics of renewable
resource in seasonally varying environment has been presented in [3]. In this
article we analyze a logistic model with Allee effect in proportionate periodic
harvesting also we study the bioeconomics of a renewable resources subject
to additive Allee effect. The Pontryagin maximum principle has been employedto solve the considered optimal harvesting problem [4].
