The authors consider a stochastically perturbed delay Lotka-Volterra model with additive noise of the form \[ dx(t)= diag(x_1(t),\ldots,x_2(t))[b+Ax(t) +Bx(t-\tau))dt + \beta dw(t)].\tag{1} \] Here \(w(t)\) denotes Brownian motion. First they provide conditions guaranteeing that (1) has a unique global solution which remains positive almost surely. Then they consider ultimate boundedness in mean of the solution of (1), i.e., they give conditions such that \[ \limsup_{t\rightarrow \infty} E| x(t)| \leq K \] holds, where \(K\) is a constant. In the last section the authors discuss conditions implying that the population described by the solution of (1) becomes extinct with probability one.
