Table : Comparison of critical
extreme condition properties of common predatation equations.\(f\left(N,P\right)\) represents the predation rate per predator
function and \(\backslash ng\left(N,P\right)=P*f\left(N,P\right)\)represents the total predation rate, where α is (theoretically) the
maximum predation rate per predator, N and P are the prey and predator
densities, respectively, and other variables are empirical constants.\(a,\ b,\ c\ \in\left[\left.\ 0,\ \infty\right)\right.\ ;m\in\left[0,\ 1\right]\).
