This paper deals with models for optimal annual harvesting of populations in a fluctuating environment. By adopting threshold harvesting and assuming known population size, the optimal threshold that maximizes the expected cumulative yield before extinction is derived. The optimal threshold is pract
Here we investigate the optimal harvesting of an age-structured population. We use the McKendrick model of population dynamics, and optimize a discounted yield on an infinite time horizon. The harvesting function is allowed to depend arbitrarily on age and time and its magnitude is unconstrained. We
