This [[logistic function|logistic]] model of growth is produced by a population introduced to a new habitat or with very poor numbers going through a lag phase of slow growth at first. Once it reaches a foothold population it will go through a rapid growth rate that will start to level off once the species approaches carrying capacity. The idea of maximum sustained yield is to decrease population density to the point of highest growth rate possible. This changes the number of the population, but the new number can be maintained indefinitely, ideally.
 
MSY is extensively used for fisheries management.<ref>{{cite web|author=WWF Publications|date=2007|title=The Maximum Sustainable Yield objective in Fisheries|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/maximum-sustainable-yield|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=|website=}}{{dead link|date=February 2021|bot=Dlmarial|fix-attempted=yes}}

==Basic models==
* The classic population equilibrium model is [[Pierre François Verhulst|Verhulst's]] 1838 [[Logistic function#In ecology: modeling population growth|growth model]]: <math display="block"> \frac{dN}{dt} = r N \left(1 - \frac {N}{K} \right)</math> where ''N''(''t'') represents number of individuals at time ''t'', ''r'' the intrinsic growth rate and ''K'' is the [[carrying capacity]], or the maximum number of individuals that the environment can support.
* The individual growth model, published by [[Ludwig von Bertalanffy|von Bertalanffy]] in 1934, can be used to model the rate at which fish grow. It exists in a number of versions, but in its simplest form it is expressed as a [[differential equation]] of length (''L'') over time (''t''): <math display="block">L'(t) = r_B \left( L_\infty - L(t) \right)</math> where ''r''<sub>''B''</sub> is the von Bertalanffy growth rate and ''L''<sub>&infin;</sub> the ultimate length of the individual.
 
* [[Milner Baily Schaefer|Schaefer]] published a fishery equilibrium model based on the [[Pierre François Verhulst|Verhulst]] model with an assumption of a bi-linear catch equation, often referred to as the Schaefer short-term catch equation: <math display="block">H(E,X)=q E X\!</math> where the variables are; ''H'', referring to catch (harvest) over a given period of time (e.g. a year); ''E'', the fishing effort over the given period; ''X'', the fish stock biomass at the beginning of the period (or the average biomass), and the parameter ''q'' represents the catchability of the stock. {{pb}} Assuming the catch to equal the net natural growth in the population over the same period (<math>\dot{X}=0</math>), the equilibrium catch is a function of the long term fishing effort ''E'': <math display="block">H(E) = q K E \left(1 - \frac{qE}{r}\right)</math> ''r'' and ''K'' being biological parameters representing intrinsic growth rate and natural equilibrium biomass respectively.

==Predator–prey equations==
Line 160 ⟶ 126:
In the 1930s [[Alexander John Nicholson|Alexander Nicholson]] and [[Victor Albert Bailey|Victor Bailey]] developed a model to describe the population dynamics of a coupled predator–prey system. The model assumes that predators search for prey at random, and that both predators and prey are assumed to be distributed in a non-contiguous ("clumped") fashion in the environment.<ref name="Hopper">{{cite journal |last=Hopper |first=J. L. |year=1987 |title=Opportunities and Handicaps of Antipodean Scientists: A. J. Nicholson and V. A. Bailey on the Balance of Animal Populations |journal=Historical Records of Australian Science |volume=7 |issue=2 |pages=179–188 |doi=10.1071/HR9880720179 |url=http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/HR9880720179.htm }}</ref>
 
In the late 1980s, a credible, simple alternative to the Lotka–Volterra predator-prey model (and its common prey dependent generalizations) emerged, the ratio dependent or [[Arditi–Ginzburg equations|Arditi–Ginzburg model]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Arditi |first1=R. |last2=Ginzburg |first2=L. R. |year=1989 |title=Coupling in predator-prey dynamics: ratio dependence |journal=Journal of Theoretical Biology |volume=139 |issue=3 |pages=311–326 |doi=10.1016/S0022-5193(89)80211-5 |bibcode=1989JThBi.139..311A }}</ref> The two are the extremes of the spectrum of predator interference models. According to the authors of the alternative view, the data show that true interactions in nature are so far from the Lotka–Volterra extreme on the interference spectrum that the model can simply be discounted as wrong. They are much closer to the ratio dependent extreme, so if a simple model is needed one can use the Arditi-Ginzburg model as the first approximation.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Arditi |first1=R. |last2=Ginzburg |first2=L.
