This paper proposes a simple mathematical model forupstream fish migration along rivers. The model describes the fish migration along a river based on a mixed optimal control approach having swimming velocity, school size, and stopping time of migration as control variables. The optimization problem reduces to a variational inequality. Its explicit “viscosity” solution is presented with the dependence of the fish migration on river environment. To prove uniqueness of the solution to the…

This paper theoretically suggests that the sub-additivity of the performance index, the index to be optimized through the migration, critically affects the resulting strategy, and the computational results with the established scheme are consistent with the theoretical predictions and support importance of the sub theadditivity property.
