A study on the dynamics of a nutrient-plankton-fish interaction model with Caputo fractional operator
摘要
The current study aims to fill a knowledge gap in the dynamics and regulation of algal blooms through fish predation, while accounting for the memory effect. A nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton-fish model using fractional derivatives in the Caputo sense is developed. The main conclusions are as follows. Reducing the fractional derivative order from 1.0 to 0.91 improves system stability by suppressing chaotic dynamics. Furthermore, the zooplankton death rate
