A delay differential equations model of plankton allelopathy.
In this paper we have studied the dynamics of planktonic growth with special consideration on time dependent fluctuations in density of the species. We propose a modified delay differential equation model of the growth of two species of plankton having competitive and allelopathic effects on each other. The model system shows a stable limit cycle oscillation when the allelopathic effect is of a stimulatory nature.
