Abstract. In this paper, we have proposed a prey-predator model with harvesting activity of prey proportional to their population size and studied the stability of the model using Holling's type II functional response and numerical response. The conditions for the equilibrium to be locally asymptotically stable have been obtained. The simulation has been carried out and it has been observed that when the harvesting activity of prey is taken into consideration then population size of predator decreases and the naturally stable equilibrium of model becomes unstable.
