title: A delayed-recruitment model of population dynamics, with an application to baleen whale populations.
abstract: This paper studies the delay equation chik + 1 = lambda chik + F(chik - beta), which has been employed as a model of baleen whale population dynamics. The two main questions discussed are (a) stability of equilibria, and (b) optimal exploitation policies.
