Abstract
In the single-species literature, it is widely acknowledged that conserving young fish for future harvesting is beneficial. This finding holds great significance in fisheries economics and has garnered substantial attention over the years. In this study, a full-blown age-structured predator–prey model is developed and used to demonstrate that multispecies considerations may shift the optimal selection of predators towards smaller individuals, providing valuable counteractive insights. These new results offer a fresh perspective highly relevant to regulation and choice of selectivity patterns.
期刊介绍:
Natural Resource Modeling is an international journal devoted to mathematical modeling of natural resource systems. It reflects the conceptual and methodological core that is common to model building throughout disciplines including such fields as forestry, fisheries, economics and ecology. This core draws upon the analytical and methodological apparatus of mathematics, statistics, and scientific computing.
