Abstract :
This paper develops a mathematical model for growth and exploitation of a fish species obeying modified logistic growth function. A low growth rate species compared to the growth rate which is directly proportional to the population density is considered. Considering the harvesting rate as the catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) hypothesis, conditions for existence of the biological equilibrium and the bioeconomic equilibrium are studied. Maximum sustainable yield is discussed with graphical representation. The nature of stability of the dynamical and the bionomic steady states are also examined. The results are compared with those of the Schaefer model. The results are illustrated and explained with the help of numerical example.
