Abstract

ABSTRACT A stage-structured prey–predator model with prey refuge is assumed, where predators have two stages as immature and mature. We consider here the harvesting on prey only and analyze the model using Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. Local stability as well as global stability at an interior equilibrium point are investigated in the proposed model. We choose different types of bifurcation like Hopf bifurcation, saddle-node bifurcation, and transcritical bifurcation in the formulated model. Moreover, in this paper, we check the optimality of the harvesting function with the help of optimal control. We provide the numerical simulation of the proposed model for the confirmation of analytical results.
