Mathematical model and computer simulation of the population dynamics of zooplankton in lake and estuary ecosystems

A mathematical model is developed for the population dynamics and survival probabilities of zooplankton in lake and estuarine. Basic digital computer simulation methodology is used for systematic application of the mathematical model for analysis of the population dynamics of zooplankton. In the analysis of this theoretical modelling, attention is focused on the production and destruction processes of the animal. Both processes are assumed stationary. The birth (production) rate is constant and life-span distribution is independent of time. It is also assumed that the different zooplankton species are independent and share a common aquatic ecosystem, and what happens to one of them does not influence the fate of any other in this system.
