A delayed predator-prey system with stage structure is investigated. The existence and stability of equilibria are obtained. An explicit algorithm for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions is derived by using the normal form and the center manifold theory. Finally a numerical example supporting the theoretical analysis is given. 1. Introduction The age factors are important for the dynamics and evolution of many mammals. The rates of survival growth and reproduction almost always depend heavily on age or developmental stage and it has been noticed that the life history of many species is composed of at least two stages immature and mature with significantly different morphological and behavioral characteristics. The study of stage-structured predator-prey systems has attracted considerable attention in recent years see 1-6 and the reference therein . In 4 Wang considered the following predator-prey model with stage structure for predator in which the immature predators can neither hunt nor reproduce. x f x f r - ax f - ky2 f w 1 mx f J . _ kbx f y2 f y1 f 1 mx D D V1W f mx 1 2 f D 1 f - v2y2 f 2 Fixed Point Theory and .
