Abstract
There exists a vast number of mathematical models dealing with problems of optimal exploitation of biological resources [1–5]. There appear different types of models. This is due to the fact that people pursue different aims and objects by using mathematical models. The purpose of the paper in hand is to find some general trends for some ecological problems which arise in the exploitation of populations. Therefore simple models of population dynamics are used. Because of their abstractions and idealisations they reveal qualitative results which can be generalized. However they are not suitable to make quantitatively correct predictions for a specific situation.
