| Abstract: | The maximum sustainable yield of an age-structured, density dependent, sex-differentiated population is investigated. The model is based on the nonlinear version of the McKendrick [11] model introduced by Gurtin and MacCamy [8], modified to include sex-differentiated dynamics. It is determined that the maximum sustainable yield is attainable by an age specific harvesting policy in which the number of harvesting ages for males and the harvesting ages for females total at most five. |
