Bioeconomic-Epidemiological Model of Scomber colias Population in the Moroccan Coasts by Nossaiba Baba, Imane Agmour, Yousef El Foutayeni, Naceur Achtaich

“…In this paper, we develop and study a mathematical model for the dynamics of Scomber colias and Thunnus thynnus prey-predator with parasitic helminths. We search to analyze a bioeconomic model in which both susceptible and infected prey populations Scomber colias are exposed to the predator Thunnus thynnus, with varying degrees of exposure. …”
