Compared from all perspective, it was found that the Schnute model commonly used in foreitry was identical to the Chapman-Richards function. If some parameter in the Chapman-Richdrds Function was unconstraint, the function could also be very versatile to fit some exceptional growth curves, the fitted function should be identical to that the Schnute model.展开更多

By choosing the maximum annual-sustainable yield as management objective, we investigate the optimal harvesting policies for autonomous and periodic exploited Richards model. Further, when the functions in the exploited Richards model are stably bounded functions, we study the ultimately optimal harvesting policy and obtain the corresponding average limiting maximum sustainable yield.展开更多
