Abstract

This paper aims to explore the population dynamics of fish using a logistic growth model including harvesting effects. Specifically, this study looks at two different harvesting strategies, known as constant and proportional harvesting. The aim is to establish the best patterns for growth and reproduction in fish populations at these different harvesting rates. By analysing the results of constant versus proportional harvesting, this research aims to find out whether one is more effective than the other in striking a balance between sustainable management of fish populations and economic viability. In conclusion, through such an analysis it becomes possible to make recommendations on how fisheries should be managed to achieve sustainability while optimizing resource use efficiency. This research will have far-reaching implications that will ensure policies are well made and best practices are taken into consideration by managing fisheries thus contributing towards sustainability and productivity of fish populations in the long run.
