In this work, we model the relationship between prey and predators by studying the interactive behavior of this prey-predator model and using the change of prey. The objective is to maximize the profit function of each predator by seeking the strategy provided by each predator to maximize its profit. To do so, we maximize this utility function being constrained by balance equations between biomass and trophic, and we show that this last problem is completely equivalent to finding the
