In connection with marine protected areas for overfished stocks, the authors consider mathematical models constructed by means of boundary value problems for partial (and for describing the steady state -- ordinary) differential equations. In the first of the considered models, the parameters are piecewise constant with the diffusion coefficient and mortality rate different inside and outside the protected area. Next, a movement bias model is studied. It is supposed here that at the boundary, the probability of moving to the protected area is higher than of moving outside. Finally, a model with constant diffusion coefficient and smooth in the space variable mortality rate is considered. Different models are analyzed and compared with empirical evidence.
