  • A stochastic version of the logistic model for population growth is considered, and the general form of an optimal policy is found for hunting the population so as to maximise the long-term average number of captures per unit time. This optimal policy is described by a critical population size x∗such that it is optimal to hunt if and only if the population size is greater than or equal to x∗. Methods of determining x∗for given parameter values are provided, and some properties of the optimal policy as the population size tends to infinity are proved.
