Abstract

In this paper we consider a harvesting model of predator-prey fishery in which
the prey is directly infected by some external toxic substances. The toxic infection is
indirectly transmitted to the predator during the feeding process. The model is a modified
version from the classic Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model. The stability and bifurcation
analyses are addressed. Numerical simulations of the model are performed and bifurcation
diagrams are studied to investigate the dynamical behaviours between the predator and
the prey. The effects of toxicity and harvesting on the stability of steady states found in
the model are discussed.
