Abstract
The global behaviour of a class of predator-prey systems, modelled by a pair of non-linear ordinary differential equations, under constant rate harvesting and/or stocking of both species, is presented. Theoretically possible structures and transitions are developed and validated by computer simulations. The results are presented as transition loci in the F-G (prey harvest rate-predator harvest rate) plane.
