Abstract

In this paper, the single species modelled by (asymptotically) periodic Gompertz equation is investigated. It is shown that the (asymptotically) periodic system has a unique (asymptotically) periodic solution which is globally asymptotically stable for the positive solution. When the nonautonomous Gompertz equation is subject to harvesting, we study the optimal harvesting policy for the periodic system and obtain the corresponding optimal population level and the maximum sustainable yield. Further, when the functions in the exploited Gompertz system are stably bounded functions, we study the ultimately optimal harvesting policy. By choosing the average limiting maximum sustainable yield as management objective, the corresponding optimal population level is determined.
