Abstract
In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a stage-structured population model involving gestation delay is investigated within stochastically fluctuating environment and harvesting. Firstly, the stability and Hopf bifurcation condition are described on the delayed population model within deterministic environment. Secondly, the stochastic population model systems are discussed by incorporating white noise terms to the deterministic system model. Finally, numerical simulations show that the gestation delay with larger magnitude has ability to drive the system from stable to unstable within the same fluctuating environment and the frequency and amplitude of oscillation for the population density is enhanced as environmental driving forces increase. These indicate that the magnitude of gestation delay plays a crucial role to determine the stability or instability and the magnitude of environmental driving forces plays a crucial role to determine the magnitude of oscillation of the population model system within fluctuating environment.
