| Abstract: | The aquaculture model of Arnason (1992) is extended to allow for density dependent growth. It is then shown that the optimal management policy for a fish farm may include a period in which there is culling of the stock up to a final slaughter date when all the remaining fish are slaughtered. Results in Heaps (1993), who dealt with density independent growth, for the effects of changes in model parameters on the optimal final slaughter weight are shown to generalize to the case of density dependent growth. As well, a numerical example is provided where culling is definitely part of the optimal management plan. |
