Abstract

Focusing on the key trait of sex ratio in the lampreys, this study constructed an eco-dynamic model to examine the effects of multiple organisms on the lampreys. The biomass changes of lampreys, parasitic fish and competing organisms were simulated under different resource conditions, revealing the effects of sex ratio on the ecosystem and its own population biomass. Through the blocked growth model and competition model, we explored how the resource changes affect the sex ratio of lampreys and how the interactions between different organisms affect the stability of the ecosystem. The experimental results showed that the models were reasonable and provided an important reference for understanding the population dynamics of the lampreys and the evolution of the ecosystem.
