Continuous Threshold Harvesting Intermediate Predator in Food Chain Model
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents a three-species food chain system, which consists of intermediate predator population that depends only on prey population, and top predator population that depends only on intermediate predator population. We study this model when the intermediate predator exposed to the risk of harvest.
We studied the bounded solutions and equilibrium points with its conditions. Also the stability for each equilibrium points was studied. We determine the invariant region, in this region all population are survive and continuous harvesting. At last, we describe some results in numerical simulation
