Abstract
In this paper we study the problem of optimal fishing for regime switching, which may be regarded as sequential optimal problem with changes of regimes. The growth dynamics of a given fish species is described by the differential stochastic logistic model in which we take into account two states: prior or during floods and after. The resulting dynamic programming principle leads to a system of variational inequalities, by means of viscosity solutions approach, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the value functions. Then numerical approximation is used to answer the question: what is the optimal fishing effort for a sustainable fishery
