We consider three models according to different levels of complexity, without and with species refuge and density-independent and density-dependent species movement between fishing area and refuge. We particularly study the effects of the fishing pressure on the outcome of the competition. We focus on conditions that allow an inferior competitor to invade as a result of fishing pressure. The model is discussed in relationship to the case of the thiof and the octopus along the Atlantic West African coast. At the origin, the thiof was abundant and the octopus scarce in that region. Since, the fishing pressure has strongly increased in some fishing areas leading to the depletion of the thiof and the invasion of its competitor, the octopus. specialized Competition Refuge Density-dependent migration Density-independent migration Fishing pressure SENEGAL 040 020 64 4 519-536 2016 0001-5342 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010068754 10.1007/s10441-016-9292-1 0001-5342 [F B010068754] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010068754 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2017/01/010068754.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-02-06 2018-11-20 fdi:010068754 fre
