Harvesting under density-dependent mortality and fecundity

The problem of optimal harvesting in equilibrium is considered in a Leslie matrix model in which both mortality and fecundity in all age-classes may be density-dependent. The conclusion is that the optimal strategy is of the two-age-class type, in common with results obtained previously for simpler...

Summary:The problem of optimal harvesting in equilibrium is considered in a Leslie matrix model in which both mortality and fecundity in all age-classes may be density-dependent. The conclusion is that the optimal strategy is of the two-age-class type, in common with results obtained previously for simpler models.
