Abstract: In this paper, we have studied the dynamical behaviour of a Leslie-Gower model with Holling type-IV functional response and nonlinear prey harvesting where target prey for harvesting are above a particular age which is called maturation delay. The model system has been studied using qualitative analysis, bifurcation theory, bionomic equilibrium, MSY and optimal harvesting policy. We explain that the interior equilibrium is delay dependent and locally asymptotically stable. The age-selective harvesting system under goes a Hopf-bifurcation with respect to the maturation delay. Conditions for the MSY and existence of bionomic equilibrium are analyzed and Pontryagin's maximum principle has been used to find the path of a singular control. Difficult analytical results are featured by numerical examples to better understand the system in a simple way.
