We investigate a class of size-dependent population model, which is a partial functional integro-differential equation with global feedbacks and a time delay in incubation period. In addition, a distributive harvesting is incorporated in the state equation. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness of long time solutions are established by characteristic curves method, which is bounded in any finite interval. Then, a strong ergodicity of the population is found via an integral equation, integral transformations and residue theory of functions in complex variables, which shows that the population profiles will be asymptotically constant. Next, we regard the population as a renewable resource and consider the optimal harvesting problem: How to choose a harvest function that maximizes economic profits? By means of extremum sequences and Mazur's theorem, we prove that there is at least one optimal policy. To describe the structure of optimal strategies, we use a normal cone and construct an adjoint system. The conclusion shows that any optimal policy should take minimal or maximal harvest efforts in most of situations. Finally, we claim that optimal strategies are unique by excluding the singular cases.
