Coloquio del Departamento de Matemática el profesor Lev V. Idels del
Department of Mathematics University of Vancouver Island BC Canada.


Título: Mathematical Models of Marine Protected Areas.

Resumen: Marine protected and marine reserves areas (MPA) have been
promoted as conservation and fishery management tools to hedge marine life
and
sustain ecosystems. According to recent studies, MPAs extend age structure
of targeted species, sustain higher rate of reproduction, provide
insurance against management failure, restrict fishing mortality, and
allow habitat to recover. The reserve concept has recently attracted great
interest in the community of fisheries scientists and managers. One of the
benefits of a theoretical modeling of MPAs is insight into the type
of informative fisheries data that should be collected in order that the
best design can be established.

MPAs have been traditionally modeled using autonomous Ordinary Differential
Equations (ODE). To incorporate age-dependent population structure
and spatial effects, we introduce new MPA models via the system of nonlinear
Partial Differential Equations (PDE). A special technique translates the
system of PDE into the system of nonlinear Delay Differential Equations(DDE).

In this talk we discuss complex dynamics of DDE models, with perennial
ecological favorites such as sign stability, global stability, persistence
and permanence, existence of regions of stability(instability). By
comparing the optimal harvesting rate against a constant harvesting rate,
it was demonstrated that the fast convergence to the optimal equilibrium 
guarantees greater profits under the optimal harvesting strategy. We
compare our models of MPA with the existing set of models and indicate
open problems and further development of these models.

Están todos cordialmente invitados.
