A dynamic model for a single-species fishery, which depends partially on a logistically growing resource with functional response, is proposed using taxation as control instrument to protect fish population from overexploitation. The analysis of the model shows that both the equilibrium density of fish population as well as the maximum sustainable yield increase as resource biomass density increases. The optimal harvesting policy is also discussed with the help of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. It is found that for the optimum equilibrium value of resource biomass density, the total user's cost of harvest per unit effort must be equal to the discounted value of future price at the steady state.

In this paper we investigate the optimal harvesting problems of a single species with Gompertz law of growth. Based on continuous harvesting models, we propose impulsive harvesting models with constant harvest or proportional harvest. By using the discrete dynamical systems determined by the stroboscopic map, we discuss existence, stability and global attractivity of positive periodic solutions, and obtain the maximum sustainable yield and the corresponding optimal population level. At last, we compare the maximum sustainable yield of impulsive harvest with that of continuous harvest, and point out that proportional harvest is superior to constant harvest.

A harvesting fishery model is proposed to analyze the effects of the presence of red devil fish population, as a predator in an ecosystem. In this paper, we consider an ecological model of three species by taking into account two competing species and presence of a predator (red devil), the third species, which incorporates the harvesting efforts of each fish species. The stability of the dynamical system is discussed and the existence of biological and bionomic equilibrium is examined. The optimal harvest policy is studied and the solution is derived in the equilibrium case applying Pontryagin’s maximal principle. The simulation results is presented to simulate the dynamical behavior of the model and show that the optimal equilibrium solution is globally asymptotically stable. The results show that the optimal harvesting effort is obtained regarding to bionomic and biological equilibrium.

In this paper, a harvesting fishery model in a two-patch environment: one free-fishing zone and the other one reserved zone where fishing is strictly prohibited, is proposed and analyzed. The existence of possible biological steady states, along with their local stability, instability and global stability is discussed. The existence of bioeconomic equilibrium is derived. An optimal harvesting policy is also given by applying pontryagin's maximum principle.

The theory of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) underpins many fishery management regimes and is applied principally as a single species concept. Using a simple dynamic biomass production model we show that MSY can be identified from a long time series of multi-stock data at a regional scale in the presence of species interactions and environmental change. It suggests that MSY is robust and calculable in a multispecies environment, offering a realistic reference point for fishery management. Furthermore, the demonstration of the existence of MSY shows that it is more than a purely theoretical concept. There has been an improvement in the status of stocks in the Northeast Atlantic, but our analysis suggests further reductions in fishing effort would improve long-term yields.
