An age-structured predator-prey system with diffusion and Holling-Tanner-type nonlinearities is investigated. Regarding the intensity of the fertility of the predator as bifurcation parameter, we prove that a branch of positive coexistence steady states bifurcates from the marginal steady state with no predator. A similar result is shown when the fertility of the prey varies.
