Description
Summary:In this paper, in order to explore the inhibition mechanism of algicidal bacteria on algae, we constructed an aquatic amensalism model with non-selective harvesting and Allee effect. Mathematical works mainly gave some critical conditions to guarantee the existence and stability of equilibrium points, and derived some threshold conditions for saddle-node bifurcation and transcritical bifurcation. Numerical simulation works mainly revealed that non-selective harvesting played an important role in amensalism dynamic relationship. Meanwhile, we proposed some biological explanations for transcritical bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation from the aspect of algicidal bacteria controlling algae. Finally, all these results were expected to be useful in studying dynamical behaviors of aquatic amensalism ecosystems and biological algae controlling technology.
