Feasibility of a fishery regulation model. A pulse quota fishing policy with environmental stochasticity

Abstract

An enviromental-random effect over a deterministic population mo\-del, a resource ({\it e.g.}, a fish stock) is introduced. It is assumed that the harvest activity is concentrated at a non predetermined sequence of instants, at which the abundance reaches a certain predetermined level, for then to fall abruptly a constant capture quota (pulse harvesting). So that, the abundance is modeled by a stochastic impulsive type differential equation, incorporating an standard Brownian motion in the per capita rate of growth. With this random effect, the pulse times are images of a random variable, more precisely, they are "stopping-times" of the stochastic process. The proof of the finite expectation of the next access time, {\it i.e.}, the feasibility of the regulation, is the main result.
