A population model for the management of the saiga antelope

摘要: In order to describe the population dynamics of saiga antelope adequately, a discrete time, stochastic age-structured model is needed. Management strategies investigated are: taking proportion or constant number individuals; selecting individuals killed by age and sex harvesting in proportions found population; every year, other year only years with good climate. These options are chosen reference management that were place before collapse Soviet Union. Both mean size yield their coefficients variation important for an effective strategy. The safest strategy hunt years, fairly high males harvest
