Abstract

The present investigation deals with a tritrophic food web model with Holling-Tanner type II functional response to clarify the dynamical complexity of the eco-systems in the natural environment. The objective of this study is to explore the harvesting mechanism scenario in a three-dimensional interacting species system such as one prey and two specialist predators. Attention has been given to demonstrate the system characteristics near the biologically feasible equilibria. Specifically, stability, Hopf-Andronov bifurcation for the respective system parameters and dissipativeness has been performed in order to scrutinize the system behaviour. Lyapunov exponents are worked out numerically and an unstable scenario for significant parameters of the model system has been executed to characterize the complex dynamics. In addition to, we put forward a detailed numerical simulation to justify the chaotic dynamics of the present system. We conclude that chaotic dynamics can be executed by the prey harvesting parameters.
