Consider the following predator-prey model for sharks (S) and fish (F)
F’ = a F (1-F/c) - v F S - d(1- e-hF),
S’ = -b S + w F S,
where ‘ stands for the derivative d/dt with respect to time t. The coefficients a,b,c,d,h,v,w are all positive. The last term,
d(1- e-hF), in the first equation models people fishing. We have a fishing quota (d) which we shall vary (we would not want
the fish to become extinct) and the exponential term describes the fact that it is hard to catch fish if the population is very
small.
(i) Discuss the meaning of the individual terms that appear in the differential-equations system and argue why this
system models the predator-prey situation between two species (sharks and fish).
(ii) For a=1200, c=40, v=30 and b=400, d=8000, w=30, h= 1/8,
a) show that F=40/3 and S = 20/3 + 20*e-5/3 is a time-independent solution (equilibria);
b) use pplane7 in Matlab to investigate the system: Describe how solutions behave for large values of t and interpret
these results in terms of shark and fish populations. Support your study by appropriate plots of solutions.
(iii) Repeat the steps from part (ii) where we change d to d=10900 while keeping the other parameters as in part (ii).
(iv) Discuss the differences between the cases (ii) and (iii).
Note: Experiment with the minimum and maximum values of F,S in pplane7 to make sure you capture the region of
interest.
