A multi-region nonlinear age–size structured fish population model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to present a generic multi-region nonlinear age-size structured fish population model, and to assess its mathematical well-posedness. An initial-boundary value problem is formulated. Existence and uniqueness of a positive weak solution is proved. Eventually, a comparison result is derived : the population of all regions decreases as the mortality rate increases in at least one region.

متن کاملTemperature-driven regime shifts in the dynamics of size-structured populations.
Global warming impacts virtually all biota and ecosystems. Many of these impacts are mediated through direct effects of temperature on individual vital rates. Yet how this translates from the individual to the population level is still poorly understood, hampering the assessment of global warming impacts on population structure and dynamics. Here, we study the effects of temperature on intraspe...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Model of Age and Size-structured Populations with Applications to Cell Cycles
The Sharpe–Lotka–McKendrick (or von Foerster) equations for an age-structured population, with a nonlinear term to represent overcrowding or competition for resources, are considered. The model is extended to include a growth term, allowing the population to be structured by size or weight rather than age, and a general solution is presented. Various examples are then considered, including the ...
متن کاملAn observer for a nonlinear age-structured model of a harvested fish population.
We consider an age-structured model of a harvested population. This model is a discrete-time system that includes a nonlinear stock-recruitment relationship. Our purpose is to estimate the stock state. To achieve this goal, we built an observer, which is an auxiliary system that uses the total number of fish caught over each season and gives a dynamical estimation of the number of fish by age c...
متن کاملEstimating reaction norms for age and size at maturation with reconstructed immature size distributions: a new technique illustrated by application to Northeast Arctic cod
Reaction norms for age and size at maturation describe the probability of immature fish maturing at a certain age and size. Knowledge of such reaction norms is increasingly important, both for observing and understanding changes in maturation and for calibrating sizeand age-structured population models. Estimating the reaction norms for age and size at maturation by logistic regression requires...
