Abstract
The subject of harvesting in predator–prey systems has been of interest to economists and ecologists for some time now. Most research has focused attention on optimal exploitation, guided entirely by profits from harvesting. The present study emphasizes that the ecosystem offers more than the exploitation of a species. This is expressed through a non-use value, which is indirectly influenced by harvesting.
