Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Ricker model with delay and constant or periodic stocking. The impact of delay and stocking on stability is known to reflect opposing effect, which motivates investigating the interaction between these factors and their influence on overall stability. We found that the high stocking density tends to neutralize the delay effect. Conditions are established on the parameters in order to guarantee the global stability of the equilibrium solution in the case of constant stocking, as well as the global stability of the 2-periodic solution in the case of 2-periodic stocking. Our approach extensively relies on the utilization of the embedding technique. Whether constant stocking or periodic stocking, the mode has the potential to undergo a Neimark-Sacker bifurcation in both cases. However, the Neimark-Sacker bifurcation in the 2-periodic case results in the emergence of two invariant curves that collectively function as a single attractor. Finally, we pose open questions in the form of conjectures about global stability for certain choices of the parameters.
