Abstract
In this article, we apply different functional responses to introduce new mathematical feature in marine ecosystem. Strength of phytoplankton refuge and zooplankton refuge play big impacts in our system. We examine the different bifurcation scenarios when one or two different parameters vary together at the same time. A comparison of deterministic and stochastic approaches for analyzing the system dynamics are adopted. Analytical as well as numerical simulations are carried out to establish our findings.

1 Introduction
The study of plankton-fish interaction is one of key area in marine ecology due to its global existence and importance. Most of plankton-fish interaction dynamics are based upon classical Lotka-Volterra mechanism, in which growth of zooplankton depend on phytoplankton and zooplankton predation rate of fish is the growth rate of fish with a conversion factor.
In complex dynamics, prey species make use of refuge to allow some degree of protection of the prey from predator. This prevents the predation of the prey population to some extent. In it’s absence, prey density may increase due to a simultaneous increase of refuge that will trigger population outbreaks and forms multiple stable states. Recently, the scientists carried out many outcomes by considering refuge term in prey-predator system. The author in [1] examined the global stability of a stage-structured prey-predator model in presence of prey refuge. The researchers in [2] studied that prey refuge has a positive impact on Leslie-Gower-prey-predator model.
The phytoplankton (prey) community uses refuge to protect itself from the zooplankton (predator) community. This prevents the predation of the phytoplankton population to some extent [3,4,5,6]. Some researchers are opening new areas for study by incorporating refuge in the marine plankton system. The analysis of refuge in [7] showed that it has a strong effect in a phytoplankton-zooplankton spatiotemporal dynamics system. The authors in [8] establishes the vital role played by phytoplankton refuge and toxin on the occurrence and termination of algal blooms in freshwater lake. The authors in [9] investigated the plankton dynamics in pond and the impact of zooplankton refuge on growth of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
There are many environmental fluctuations which are not considered in deterministic models as they do not account for the variations in random parameters [10]. In such cases, a stochastic model is a better choice as they provide a realistic view of the natural system. Stochastic model of toxic producing phytoplankton-fish are studied recently in [11] for a clear understanding of the plankton dynamics. The authors in [11, 12] investigated that high and low value of environmental fluctuations may lead to the extinction of the population as well as population weakly persistent in the mean respectively. Recently, the scientists in [13] examined that white noise can affect directly the survival of plankton population in toxin producing phytoplankton-zooplankton interaction model.
Based on the above observations, we constructed a three-dimensional model focusing on the effects of phytoplankton refuge and zooplankton refuge on the marine ecosystem. Firstly, a mathematical model is designed by considering suitable functional responses. It is assumed that as per functional response type II the grazing rate of zooplankton is dependent on the phytoplankton. Zooplankton predation by fish follows a functional response type III, and the predation rate increases in a sigmoidal way with prey density. Also, many planktivorous fish feeds on chironomids, tubifex, or other bottom dwelling invertebrates. Thus, there is chance of switching to suitable prey which results in a type-III response considering there is absence of significant time-lag [14]. Further, the roles and the interaction of both plankton species and refuge phytoplankton and zooplankton are studied.
The paper is organized as follows. After the above introductory section, we move onto the model construction and the analysis of the deterministic model in Sect. 2 and Sect. 3 respectively. The stochastic counterpart is presented next, results on the numerical simulations are reported in Sect. 5 and discussed in the final section.
2 The Mathematical Model
Let P, Z and F be the concentration of the phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish population at time t with carrying capacity K and constant intrinsic growth rate r. Here α 1 and α 2 be the maximal zooplankton ingestion rate and conversion rate for the growth of zooplankton respectively (α 2 ≤ α 1). Also, let γ 1 and γ 2 be the maximal planktivorous fish ingestion rate and conversion rate due to grazing of herbivorous zooplankton (γ 2 ≤ γ 1). Further, d 1 and d 2 represent the mortality rates of the zooplankton and planktivorous fish biomass respectively. Let h be the harvesting rate of planktivorous fish population. We consider Holling type II and Holling III functional forms to illustrate the grazing phenomena with K 1 and K 2 as half saturation constants. We consider m ∈ [0, 1) and n ∈ [0, 1) are constant measures of the degree or strength of phytoplankton refuge and zooplankton refuge respectively.
With these above biological assumptions our model system is [15]
Firstly, we analyzed the system (1) with the following initial conditions,
Explicitly, the jacobian matrix at \(\overline {E}=(\overline {P},\overline {Z},\overline {F})\) can be illustrate as
3 Some Preliminary Results
3.1 Positive Invariance
By setting X = (P, Z, F)T ∈R 3 and \( G(X)=\left [ G_1(X), \ G_2(X), \ G_3(X) \right ]^T \), with G : R + 3 →R 3 and G ∈ C ∞(R 3), Eq. (1) becomes
together with X(0) = (P(0), Z(0), F(0)) = (X 1, X 2, X 3) = X 0 ∈R + 3. It is easy to check that whenever X(0) ∈R + 3 with X i = 0, for i=1, 2, 3, then \(G_i(X)\mid _{X_i=0}\geq 0\). Then any solution of equation (4) with X 0 ∈R + 3, say X(t) = X(t;X 0), is such that X(t) ∈R + 3 for all t > 0.
3.2 Equilibria
The system (1) possesses the following four equilibria: plankton free equilibrium E 0 = (0, 0, 0) and zooplankton free equilibrium E 01 = (K, 0, 0), fish free equilibrium E 1(P 1, Z 1, 0) and coexistence equilibrium E ∗ = (P ∗, Z ∗, F ∗).
3.2.1 Plankton Free Equilibrium
E 0 is always feasible. The eigenvalues evaluate from (3) at E 0 are r > 0, − d 1 < 0 and − (d 2 + h). Thus, it is clearly indicates that E 0 is always unstable.
3.2.2 Zooplankton Free Equilibrium
E 01 is always feasible. The eigenvalues evaluate from (3) at E 01 are − r, − (d 2 + h) and \(\frac {\alpha _2(1-m)K}{K_1+(1-m)K}-d_1\). Therefore, E 01 is asymptotically stable if
hold.
3.2.3 Fish Free Equilibrium
The population level at E 1(P 1, Z 1, 0) are \(P_1=\frac {K_1d_1}{(\alpha _2-d_1)(1-m)}\) and \(Z_1 =\frac {rK_1\alpha _2[K(\alpha _2-d_1)(1-m)-K_1d_1]}{\alpha _1 K(1-m)^2(\alpha _2-d_1)^2}\). Feasibility at E 1 exists if α 2 > d 1 and \(m< \frac {K\alpha _2-d_1(K+K_1)}{K(\alpha _2-d_1)}\). By factorizing jacobian (3) at E 1 gives one explicit eigenvalue \(\frac {\gamma _2(1-n)^2Z^2_1}{K_2+(1-n)^2Z^2_1}-(d_2+h)\) and the quadratic equation \(\lambda ^2+P_1\left (\frac {r}{K}-\frac {\alpha _1(1-m)Z_1}{[K_1+(1-m)P_1]^2}\right )\lambda +\frac {\alpha _1\alpha _2K_1(1-m)^2P_1Z_1}{[K_1+(1-m)P_1]^3}=0\). Clearly, two roots are negative real parts at E 1. Therefore, stability of E 1 is ensured by
3.2.4 Coexistence Equilibrium
The coexistence equilibrium at E ∗ = (P ∗, Z ∗, F ∗) are \(Z^*=\frac {1}{(1-n)}\sqrt {\frac {(\mu _2+h)K_2}{[\gamma _2-(\mu _2+h)]}}=q\) while F ∗ is ensured by solving \(\frac {[K_2\gamma _2(\alpha _2-d_1)(1-m)P^*-d_1K_1]}{[K_1+(1-m)P^*]\gamma _1(1-n)q[\gamma _2-(\mu _2+h)]}\) and \(P^*=\frac {B+\sqrt {B^2+4AC}}{2A}\) which is ensured from equation AP ∗− BP ∗− C = 0 where A = rK(1 − m), B = [rK(1 − m) − rK 1] and C = [rKK 1 − Kα 1(1 − m)q].
At E ∗, the jacobian matrix of system (1) can be written as
where \(a_{11}=\frac {\alpha _1(1-m)P^*Z^*}{[K_1+(1-m)P^*]^2}-\frac {rP^*}{K}<0,~a_{12}=-\frac {\alpha _1(1-m)P^*}{K_1+(1-m)P^*}<0, a_{21}=\frac {K_1\alpha _2(1-m)Z^*}{[K_1+(1-m)P^*]^2}>0, \) \(a_{22}=\frac {\gamma _1(1-n)^2Z^*F^*}{K_2+(1-n)^2Z^{*2}}-\frac {2\gamma _1K_2Z^*F^*}{K_2+(1-n)^2Z^{*2}}\in \mathbf {R},~ a_{23}=-\frac {\gamma _1(1-n)^2Z^{*2}}{K_2+(1-n)^2Z^{*2}}<0,\) \(~a_{32}=\frac {2\gamma _2K_2(1-n)^2Z^*F^*}{[K_2+(1-n)^2Z^{*2}]^2}>0.\)
The characteristic equation is
where Q 1 = −(a 11 + a 22), Q 2 = a 11 a 22 − a 12 a 21 − a 23 a 32; Q 3 = a 11 a 23 a 32. By the Routh-Hurwitz criteria, all roots of above equation have negative real parts if and only if Q i > 0, and Q 1 Q 2 − Q 3 > 0, i = 1, 2, 3.
Here we consider two cases depending on the sign of a 22.
Case 1
When a 22>0, then Q 1 > 0 if \(\frac {rP^*}{K}-\frac {\alpha _1(1-m)P^*Z^*}{[K_1+(1-m)P^*]^2}>\frac {\gamma _1(1-n)^2Z^*F^*}{K_2+(1-n)^2Z^{*2}}-\frac {2\gamma _1K_2Z^*F^*}{K_2+(1-n)^2Z^{*2}}.\) Also, Q 2 > 0 if − a 12 a 21 > −a 11 a 22 + a 23 a 32 since a 11 a 22 < 0, a 12 a 21 < 0 and a 23 a 32 < 0.
Here, clearly Q 3 = a 32 a 11 a 23 > 0.
Case 2
When a 22<0 which indicates Q 1 > 0 and Q 2 > 0 if a 11 a 22 > a 12 a 21 + a 23 a 32 and obviously, Q 3 > 0.
In addition, according to Routh-Hurwitz criterion, Q 1 Q 2 − Q 3 > 0 must be satisfied if Q 1 Q 2 > Q 3 which indicates that the system becomes locally asymptotically stable at E ∗ depending upon system parameters.
Remark 1
The system produces a Hopf-bifurcation at the coexistence equilibrium if the following two conditions are satisfied,
3.3 Hopf Bifurcation at Coexistence
Let us consider a value n = n c such that Q 1(n c)Q 2(n c) − Q 3(n c) = 0. Then at n = n c the characteristic equation (7) becomes (ρ + Q 1)(ρ 2 + Q 2) = 0. Clearly the equation has three roots which are \(\pm \sqrt {Q_2}i\) and − Q 1 i.e. two roots are pair of purely complex roots and third roots is negative. To examine the transversality condition, let us consider any point n of 𝜖-neighborhood of n c where ρ 1,2 = a(n) ± ib(n). Putting this in (7) and separate the real and imaginary parts we get the following results:
Since b(n) ≠ 0, then from (10) we have b 2 = 3a 2 + 2Q 1 a + Q 2.
Putting the value of b 2 in (7) we have
Now differentiating w.r.t n at n = n c we get the following results
\(\left [\frac {da}{dn}\right ]_{n=n_c}{\,=\,}{\,-\,}\left [ \frac {1}{2(Q_1^2{\,+\,}Q_2)}\frac {d}{dn}(Q_1Q_2{\,-\,}Q_3)\right ]_{n{\,=\,}n_c}\neq 0\) provided \(\left [\frac {d}{dn}(Q_1Q_2\right .\) \(\left .{\,-\,}Q_3)\right ]_{n{\,=\,}n_c}\neq 0\) i.e. second condition of (8).
4 The Stochastic Model
Here, we study our system based on the environmental parameters and their fluctuations. All the parameters are assumed to be constant with time t. The stochastic stability of the coexistence equilibrium is tested.
A deterministic system can be extended to stochastic system by two process. Firstly, by replacing one of the environmental parameters by some random parameters and secondly, without changing any particular parameter in deterministic equations and including a randomly fluctuating driving force [16].
Here we choose the second method. The Gaussian white noise type stochastic perturbations of the state variables around their steady values E ∗ is very effective to model rapidly fluctuating phenomena which are proportional to the distances P, Z, F of each population from their equilibrium value P ∗, Z ∗, F ∗ [17]. Based on above assumption, the deterministic system (1) can be extended to the following stochastic model
in which real constant parameters σ 1, σ 2 and σ 3 are considered to be the intensities of environmental fluctuations and \(\xi _t^i=\xi _i(t)\), i = 1, 2, 3 to be the standard Wiener processes independent of each other [18].
The stochastic system (12) can be written in compact form like an Itō stochastic differential system
where the solution of above equation X t = (P, Z, F)T, for t > 0 is known as Itō process. Here G is the drift coefficient or it can be written as slowly varying continuous component. The diffusion coefficient is represented by g = diag[σ 1(P − P ∗), σ 2(Z − Z ∗), σ 3(F − F ∗)] of the diagonal matrix which can expressed by the rapidly varying continuous random component. \(\xi _t=(\xi _t^1,\xi _t^2,\xi _t^3)^T\) can be considered as a three-dimensional stochastic process having scalar Wiener process components with increments \(\Delta \xi _t^j=\xi _j(t+\Delta t)-\xi _j(t)\) which are independent Gaussian random variables N(0, Δt). The system (12) is known as multiplicative noise as the diffusion matrix g depends upon the solution of X t.
4.1 Stochastic Stability of the Coexistence Equilibrium
The stochastic differential system (12) can be centered at its coexistence equilibrium E ∗ by introducing the perturbation vector U(t) = (u 1(t), u 2(t), u 3(t))T, with u 1 = P − P ∗, u 2 = Z − Z ∗, u 3 = F − F ∗. To derive the asymptotic stability in the mean square sense by the Lyapunov functions method, working on the complete nonlinear equations (12), could be attempted, following [19]. But for simplicity we deal with the stochastic differential equations obtained by linearizing (12) about the coexistence equilibrium E ∗. The linearized version of (13) around E ∗ is given by
where now g(U(t)) = diag[σ 1 u 1, σ 2 u 2, σ 3 u 3] and
and the coexistence equilibrium corresponds now to the origin (u 1, u 2, u 3) = (0, 0, 0). Let \(\Omega =\left [(t\geq t_0)\times R^3, t_0\in R^+\right ]\) and let Θ(t, X) ∈ C (1, 2)( Ω) be a differentiable function of time t and twice differentiable function of X. Let further
where
With these positions, we now recall the following result, [20].
Theorem 1
Assume that the functions Θ(U, t) ∈ C 3( Ω) and L Θ satisfy the inequalities
Then the trivial solution of (14) is exponentially β-stable for all time t ≥ 0.
Remark 2
For β = 2 in (16) and (17), the trivial solution of (14) is exponentially mean square stable; furthermore, the trivial solution of (14) is globally asymptotically stable in probability [20].
Theorem 2
Assume a ij < 0, i, j = 1, 2, 3, and that for some positive real values of ω k , k = 1, 2, the following inequality holds
Then if \(\sigma _1^2<-2a_{11}\) , it follows that
where
and the zero solution of system (12) is asymptotically mean square stable.
Proof
We consider the Lyapunov function
where real positive constants ω 1 and ω 2 to be define later.
It is straightforward to verify that inequalities (16) are valid for β = 2. Moreover,
Now we evaluate that
so that we can estimate the trace term as
Introducing (20), the Lyapunov function turn into L Θ(u(t)) = −u T Qu, where Q be the real symmetric matrix
where
and \(Q_{33}=-a_{23}\omega _2-\frac {1}{2}(\omega _1+\omega _2)\sigma _3^2\). Easily, the inequality L Θ(u(t)) ≤−u T Qu holds. On the other hand, (18) and (19) imply that Q is positive definite and therefore all its eigenvalues λ i(Q), i = 1, 2, 3, are positive real numbers. Let \(\lambda _m=\min \{\lambda _i(Q),~i=1,2,3 \} >0\). From the previous inequality for L Θ(u(t)) we thus get
thus completing the proof.
Remark 3
Theorem 2 provides the necessary conditions for the stochastic stability of the coexistence equilibrium E ∗ under environmental fluctuations, [21]. Thus the internal parameters of the model together with the intensities of the environmental fluctuations help in maintaining the stability of the stochastic system.
5 Numerical Simulations
In this section, we undergo the analysis of the dynamic characteristics of plankton-fish species with the help of numerical simulations. We begin with a reference set of parametric values (cf. Table 1, [22]) in which the criterion for existence at E ∗ = (1.20, 1.97, 1.78) is satisfied and coexistence equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable (cf. Fig. 1a). Now by varying the different parametric values we study the dynamic behavior of system (1).
5.1 Effects of n
If the value of strength of zooplankton refuge n = 0.3 is increased, the system exhibits oscillations around E ∗. But high value of n = 0.8, the system switches to oscillatory behavior around zooplankton free equilibrium E 1 (cf. Fig. 1b). Figures 2a–c depicts the different steady state behaviors of phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish population in the system (1) for the parameter n. Here, we see two Hopf bifurcation points at n c = 0.3211 and 0.6442 (denoted by a red star (H)) with first Lyapunov coefficient being − 6.351217e −02 and 2.715545e 01 which indicates that a stable and unstable limit cycle bifurcates from the H and loses its stability respectively. Here n = 0.6443 (LP) and n = 0.6441 (BP) denotes the limit point and branch point of the system (1) respectively where fish population goes to extinction. Further, we have plotted a family of limit cycles bifurcates from H points (cf. Fig. 2d).
5.2 Effects of m
Taking m = 0.8, the system exhibits oscillations around E ∗ (cf. Fig. 1c). Figures 3a–c illustrate the different steady state behaviour of each species in the system (1) for the parameter m. Here, we see two Hopf bifurcation points at m c = 0.6069 and 0.8021 (denoted by a red star (H)) with first Lyapunov coefficient being − 3.370275e −02 and − 1.339074e −02 which indicates that two stable limit cycle bifurcates from the H and loses its stability respectively. Here m = 0.9102 (BP) denotes branch point of the system (1). Further, we have displayed a family of limit cycles bifurcates from H points (cf. Fig. 3d).
5.3 Effects of r
From Figs. 4a–c it follows the system (1) has two Hopf bifurcation points at r c = 8.3570 and 4.3791 with first Lyapunov coefficient being − 5.840029e −02 and 1.491169e +01, one limit point at 4.3776 and branch point at 4.4284 when we consider constant intrinsic growth rate of phytoplankton, i.e. r as a free parameter. To proceed further, a family of stable and unstable limit cycles bifurcating from Hopf points is plotted (cf. Fig. 4d).
5.4 Effects of h
To study the impact of harvesting on fish population we vary the parameter h. We note that the system (1) has one Hopf point at 0.1484 with first Lyapunov coefficient being 1.059854e +01 one limit point at 0.1486 and branch point at 0.1468 (cf. Fig. 5a). We have drawn a family of unstable limit cycles bifurcating from H points (cf. Fig. 5b).
5.5 Hopf-Bifurcation
For clear understanding of a dynamic change due to change in n, m and r, we have plotted three bifurcation diagrams separately (cf. Fig. 6a–c). Next, we have plotted two parameter bifurcation diagrams for n − m, n − r and m − r respectively (Figs. 7a–c) to show the stable zone at E ∗. All the numerical results are summarized in Table 2.
5.6 Environmental Fluctuations
Next, we examine the dynamical behavior of the system in the presence of environmental disturbances. We apply the Euler-Maruyama method and investigate the stochastic differential equation numerically using MATLAB.
Firstly, we satisfy the conditions for asymptotic stability at E ∗ according to the mean square sense which depends on system parameters of (12) and σ 1, σ 2, σ 3. Taking σ 1 = 0.1, σ 2 = 0.1, σ 3 = 0.1, the values of intensities of the environmental perturbations with reference set of parametric values as in Table 1 for which all the three species coexist and the system is stochastically stable (cf. Fig. 8a). But it is clearly indicates that the coexistence equilibrium becomes unstable for higher values of intensities of the environmental perturbations, σ 1 = 0.8, σ 2 = 0.8, σ 3 = 0.7 (cf. Fig. 8b).
6 Discussion
We have formulated a mathematical model sketching the interaction of phytoplankton-zooplankton-fish species. The main focus is on the functional response in presence of refuge effects of phytoplankton and zooplankton on the marine ecosystem. The model parameters are also analysed by either varying one of them or combining some of them.
The stability of the three possible steady states namely plankton-free, the zooplankton-free and the coexistence equilibria are determined by studying the model analytically. The equilibrium states are observed to be related by transcritical bifurcations provided the parameter values matches suitable conditions. Hopf bifurcation at the coexistence equilibrium are obtained after analytical results and are backed by the numerical simulations. By changing the various parameters, persistent oscillations occur.
Numerically, oscillation of all population is observed when we reduce the strength of phytoplankton refuge and when the strength of zooplankton is increased. Further, same results are obtained by increasing the constant intrinsic growth rate of phytoplankton. The whole system is stabilized by harvesting rate of fish which plays a crucial role in marine ecosystem.
Based on the results,we can conclude that the strength of phytoplankton and zooplankton refuge, intrinsic growth rate of phytoplankton and harvesting rate of fish should be maintained within a range in order to avoid extinction of fish and recurrence bloom.
Environmental noise is further added to the model and it’s low intensities makes the system stochastic asymptotic stable. High intensity values result in oscillations with high amplitudes. The model becomes stochastically stable if it fulfills certain conditions involving the maximum size of the environmental random fluctuations and the model parameters.
