Global dynamics and controllability of a harvested prey–predator system with Holling type III functional response

In recent years overexploitation and collapse of several biological resources have been seen in fisheries, forestry and wildlife. This is due to unconventional and indiscrete harvesting of the resources. Consequently there is much current concern to find principles for the control and management of resources, particularly in those circumstances where both prey and predator species are being exploited. This work illustrates the use of harvesting efforts as a control to obtain strategies for the control of a prey–predator system with Holling type III functional response.
