Approach to equilibrium in age structured populations with an increasing recruitment process

Abstract

This paper considers a model for the dynamics of an age structured population subject to a density dependent factor which regulates the recruitment. Certain properties of biological interest are obtained and the stability of the equilibrium age distributions is investigated. Finally some applications to known fishery models are considered.
