This paper considers the nonlinear fuzzy stochastic Volterra integral equations with constant delay, which are general and include many fuzzy stochastic integral and differential equations discussed in literature. Since Doob's martingale inequality is no longer applicable to such equations, a new maximum inequality is obtained. Combining with the Picard approximation method, the existence and uniqueness of solutions to nonlinear fuzzy stochastic Volterra integral equations with constant delay are given. Moreover we prove that the solution behaves stably in the case of small changes of initial values, kernels and nonlinearities. We further develop a Euler-Maruyama (EM) scheme and prove the strong convergence of the scheme. It is shown that the strong convergence order of the EM method is 0.5 under Lipschitz condition. Moreover, the strong superconvergence order is 1 if further, the kernel h(t,s) of the stochastic term satisfies h(t,t)=0. Numerical examples demonstrated that the numerical results are consistent with the theoretical research conclusions. Furthermore, the application model of the fuzzy stochastic Volterra integral equation with constant delay in population dynamics is considered, and the exact solution of the numerical example is given in explicit form.
