Abstract

In this paper we consider a stochastic version of predator-prey systems with Watt-type functional response. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of the positive global solution by using the comparison theorem of stochastic equations. Then, we study the boundedness of moments of the solution. Furthermore, the growth rates, persistence and extinction of species are investigated.
