Abstract. In this paper, a fractional-order model for phytoplankton-toxic phytoplanktonzooplankton system is presented. This model consists of three components: phytoplankton, toxic phytoplankton, and zooplankton. The equilibrium points are computed and stability of the equilibrium points is analyzed. In addition, fractional Hopf bifurcation conditions for the model are proposed. The generalized Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method is used to solve and simulate the system of fractional differential equations.
