β¦ Synopsis
A technique for analyzing the stability of a zooplankton, phytoplankton, nutrient interaction model is described. This is an extension of a two-dimensional predator-prey model, incorporating a nutrient food source. In this study difference equations, rather than differential equations, are used to simulate the system since the systems are more easily studied in this formulation. Using only a few reasonable constraints on the system, a remarkable stability is obtained.

## Abstract A technique for analyzing the stability of a phytoplanktonβnutrient interaction model is described which may be applicable to a broader range of models. It is shown that periodicity of solutions in a differential equation does not imply the same for the corresponding difference equation
