The model’s stability was also analyzed, both in the absence and presence of time delays. The inclusion of a time delay caused a Hopf bifurcation at the interior equilibrium of the model, resulting in a transition from stability to instability. The study found that as the time delay value increases, the system’s stable dynamics transition into an unstable state. However, because phytoplankton refuge is part of the system, the dynamics temporarily become stable, even though phytoplankton release the toxins over a long time.
