We will describe different harvesting/thinning control strategies in the framework of one dimensional discrete population models. These strategies have the common feature of considering a threshold population size, commonly called Biomass at the limit, under which the population is not altered, and they differ in how the harvesting/thinning is applied when that threshold is surpassed. We will discuss the basic properties of both strategies and compare them with other simpler control methods that have been studied in the literature. Particularly, we will focus on the possibility of applying these strategies to control the chaotic behaviour predicted by some one dimensional discrete population models.
